Biliverdin is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. Under physiological conditions, the activity of heme oxygenase is highest in the spleen, where senescent erythrocytes are sequestrated and destroyed.

Publication Abstract from PubMed HO (haem oxygenase) catalyses the degradation of haem to biliverdin, CO and ferrous iron via three successive oxygenation reactions, i.e. haem to alpha-hydroxyhaem, alpha-hydroxyhaem to alpha-verdohaem and alpha-verdohaem to ferric biliverdin-iron chelate. In the present study, we determined the crystal structure of ferrous alpha-verdohaem-rat HO-1 complex at 2.2 A (1 A=0.1 nm) resolution. The overall structure of the verdohaem complex was similar to that of the haem complex. Water or OH- was co-ordinated to the verdohaem iron as a distal ligand. A hydrogen-bond network consisting of water molecules and several amino acid residues was observed at the distal side of verdohaem. Such a hydrogen-bond network was conserved in the structures of rat HO-1 complexes with haem and with the ferric biliverdin-iron chelate. This hydrogen-bond network may act as a proton donor to form an activated oxygen intermediate, probably a ferric hydroperoxide species, in the degradation of alpha-verdohaem to ferric biliverdin-iron chelate similar to that seen in the first oxygenation step.
