Proteinase K treatment of whole cells markedly reduced the binding of haemin, indicating that protein receptors located at the cell surface are involved in the binding.
This was confirmed by the observation that isolated total as well as outer membrane proteins from all the strains, regardless of the iron levels of the media, were able to bind haemin, with the outer membranes showing the strongest binding.
Haemin binding by membrane protein extracts was not affected by heat treatment but was almost completely abolished by Proteinase K treatment, suggesting the presence of thermostable protein receptors for haemin.

In the cases of artemether, dihydroartemisinin, and arteether, haemin (ferriprotoporphyrin IX) significantly increased the dose-related inhibition of neurite outgrowth from differentiating NB2a cells and significantly increased the dose-dependent inhibition of MTT metabolism.
Haemin did not enhance the neurotoxicity of desoxyarteether, a structural analogue of arteether with an ether linkage in the place of the endoperoxide bridge.
It is suggested that haemin may catalyse the transformation of these derivatives via an interaction with the endoperoxide bridge of the artemisinin derivative to produce free radicals or electrophilic intermediates that are toxic to neuronal cells.

Haemin enhancement of glucose transport in human lymphocytes: stimulation of protein tyrosine phosphatase and activation of p56lck tyrosine kinase.At high doses, tyrphostins inhibited the effect of haemin.
Haemin also activated the tyrosine kinase p56lck, which is negatively controlled by phosphorylation of Tyr-505 at the C-terminus, and increased protein tyrosine phosphorylation in these cells.

The aim of investigating the dynamics of the haemin - hydrogen peroxide - sulfite reaction is to explore, if an under which conditions this reaction system is capable of showing nonlinear dynamical behaviour.
The haemin - hydrogen peroxide - sulfite system is the third reaction system which contains a metalloporphyrin as the active centre of the enzyme (or model enzyme), and that is capable of displaying nonlinear dynamical behaviour.
During the haemin - hydrogen peroxide - sulfite reaction the haemin acts as catalyst in the oxidation of sulfite to sulfate by hydrogen peroxide.

 Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1930 - Presentation Speech
Elementary analysis showed that the haemin molecule contains a large number of carbon atoms (the data fluctuated between 32 and 34) and an almost equal number of hydrogen atoms, and also 4 oxygen atoms, 4 nitrogen atoms, 1 iron atom, and 1 chlorine atom.
Further, it was discovered that the pigment in the pinions of certain birds is the copper salt of a porphyrin, whereas the pigment which forms the dark spots on the eggs of a large number of wild birds, the so-called ooporphyrin, has been found to be blood pigment without iron.
Almost, we are tempted to say that life is pigment, because oxygen transport, by means of blood pigment, to the various tissues of the bodies of animals and humans, and carbon dioxide assimilation in plants, due to chlorophyll, constitute two of the most fundamental processes of organic life.

To complement the site-directed mutagenesis approach, histidine and cysteine modifying reagents were used to assess the importance of the histidine and cysteine residues in C612KAC615H616 segment.
Even with 500 nM haemin, the fractional inhibition was much smaller and the inhibition time course was slower after MTSEA treatment (Supplementary Fig.
These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of haemin is likely to involve cysteine and histidine and support the mutagenesis results that the C612KAC615H616 segment is an important determinant of the haem sensitivity.

Henderson, D.P. and Payne, S.M. Cloning and characterization of the Vibrio cholerae genes encoding the utilization of iron from haemin and haemoglobin.
Escherichia coli 1017 transformed with pHUT1 failed to utilize haemin as an iron source; a second plasmid containing a different cloned fragment of V. cholerae DNA (pHUT3) was required in addition to pHUT1 to reconstitute the system in E. coli.
An E. coli hemA mutant that cannot synthesize porphyrins was transformed with the recombinant plasmids to determine whether the plasmids encoded the ability to transport the porphyrin as well as the iron.

 Modified haem - Patent 4822877
The invention further provides a chemically modified haem which is superior to naturally occurring haemin enzymes in terms of stability, especially with respect to the effect of temperature, whereby it can be used in reactions at higher temperatures or can be stored at ambient temperature for a prolonged period without any loss of activity.
The modified haemin obtained in Example 1 was dissolved in water (0.305 mg/ml) and 0.25 ml of the solution was added to a mixture comprised of 0.1M phosphate buffer solution (ph 7.0, 1 ml), 11.5 mM phenol (1.3 ml), 10 mM 4-aminoantipyrine (0.25 ml) and 6 mM hydrogen peroxide (0.2 ml).
Therefore, the peroxidase activity of the modified haemin was determined as 0.213 U/ml (0.698 U/mg).

 A protein on Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes functions as a transferrin receptor
In mammalian cells, haemin is degraded to carbon monoxide and bilirubin by the enzyme haeme oxygenase
Thus, iron apparently cannot be liberated from haemin and instead is sequestered in infected red cells as haemozoin, the characteristic pigment associated with malarial infection
If iron bound to transferrin is the source of ferric ions for malaria parasites within mature erythrocytes, then the parasite must synthesize its own transferrin receptor and localize it on the surface of the infected cell, because the receptors for transferrin are lost during erythrocyte maturation

GSH-mediated haemin degradation in the presence of ascorbic acid in phosphate-buffered saline and in erythrocyte ghosts was determined by recording absorbance at 365 and 399nm, respectively.
The oxidation of ascorbic acid in the presence of haemin was stimulated by GSH, suggesting that ascorbic acid can alter the mechanism of H
These results suggest that enhancement of GSH-mediated haemin degradation by ascorbic acid may be due to an increase in the production of H

In addition, cell morphology was predominantly cocco-bacillary when cultured in high haemin environments, while bacillary forms were prevalent in low haemin conditions (< 2.5 mu mol l(-1)).
Cells harvested from low haemin environments produced greater numbers of extracellular vesicles and greater amounts of peptidolytic activity, haemagglutinating potential and haemin binding activity when compared with cells harvested from high haemin conditions.
