Ferrochelatase was purified from the livers of normal and protoporphyria cattle by chromatography on Blue Sepharose CL-6B in order to investigate the enzyme defect in this disorder. The increase in specific activity (up to 2900-fold) indicated that the normal and protoporphyria enzymes were purified to a similar degree. The mutant enzyme had catalytic activity which was 10 to 15% of normal ferrochelatase, although the Michaelis constants for protoporphyrin and iron were similar. The molecular mass of the normal and protoporphyria enzyme protein was 40 kDa as evaluated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). In the presence of 15 mM sodium cholate, gel filtration demonstrated a similar size. However, at a lower concentration of sodium cholate (4 mM) the molecular mass was about 240 kDa, suggesting that the purified enzymes aggregate under this condition. Polyvalent antibodies were raised in rabbits using as antigens purified normal native enzyme and normal 40-kDa protein which had been further purified by preparative SDS-PAGE. In Western blots these antibodies complexed with both the normal and mutant 40-kDa proteins. The amount of 40-kDa protein in normal and protoporphyria mitochondrial fractions was also similar as evaluated by Western blots. These studies indicate that the ferrochelatase defect in bovine protoporphyria probably results from a point gene mutation that causes a minor change in enzyme structure. << Less
