In the first step, the propionate at position two (p2) is cleaved off the pyrrole ring A to form a vinyl group at this position. Subsequently, the propionate at position four (p4) on pyrrole ring B is cleaved off and heme b is formed. In this study, we attempted to engineer coproheme decarboxylase from Corynebacterium diphtheriae to alter the stereospecificity of this reaction. By introducing a tyrosine residue in proximity to the propionate at position 4, we were able to create a new radical center in the active site. However, the artificial Tyr183(*) radical could not be shown to catalyze any decarboxylation.
