[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HEM3_HUMAN HEM3_HUMAN] Defects in HMBS are the cause of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/176000 176000]. AIP is a form of porphyria. Porphyrias are inherited defects in the biosynthesis of heme, resulting in the accumulation and increased excretion of porphyrins or porphyrin precursors. They are classified as erythropoietic or hepatic, depending on whether the enzyme deficiency occurs in red blood cells or in the liver. AIP is an autosomal dominant form of hepatic porphyria characterized by acute attacks of neurological dysfunctions with abdominal pain, hypertension, tachycardia, and peripheral neuropathy. Most attacks are precipitated by drugs, alcohol, caloric deprivation, infections, or endocrine factors.<ref>PMID:2243128</ref> <ref>PMID:1714233</ref> <ref>PMID:1496994</ref> <ref>PMID:1427766</ref> <ref>PMID:1301948</ref> <ref>PMID:8262523</ref> <ref>PMID:8401516</ref> <ref>PMID:8268934</ref> <ref>PMID:8270254</ref> <ref>PMID:8270256</ref> <ref>PMID:8081367</ref> <ref>PMID:7962538</ref> <ref>PMID:7757070</ref> <ref>PMID:8825929</ref> <ref>PMID:9199558</ref> <ref>PMID:9225970</ref> <ref>PMID:9654202</ref> <ref>PMID:9463797</ref> <ref>PMID:10494093</ref> <ref>PMID:10453740</ref> <ref>PMID:10502788</ref> <ref>PMID:10657149</ref> <ref>PMID:10602775</ref> <ref>PMID:11399210</ref> <ref>PMID:11030413</ref> <ref>PMID:10782018</ref> <ref>PMID:11013452</ref> [:]<ref>PMID:12406973</ref> <ref>PMID:12372055</ref> <ref>PMID:11857754</ref> <ref>PMID:14669009</ref> <ref>PMID:14970743</ref> <ref>PMID:15669678</ref>

[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HEM3_HUMAN HEM3_HUMAN] Tetrapolymerization of the monopyrrole PBG into the hydroxymethylbilane pre-uroporphyrinogen in several discrete steps.
<div style="background-color:#fffaf0;">
== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS), which is involved in the heme biosynthesis pathway, has a dipyrromethane cofactor and combines four porphobilinogen (PBG) molecules to form a linear tetrapyrrole, hydroxymethylbilane. Enzyme kinetic study of human HMBS using a PBG-derivative, 2-iodoporphobilinogen (2-I-PBG), exhibited noncompetitive inhibition with the inhibition constant being 5.4 +/- 0.3 microM. To elucidate the reaction mechanism of HMBS in detail, crystal structure analysis of 2-I-PBG-bound holo-HMBS and its reaction intermediate possessing two PBG molecules (ES2), and inhibitor-free ES2 was performed at 2.40, 2.31, and 1.79 A resolution, respectively. Their overall structures are similar to that of inhibitor-free holo-HMBS, and the differences are limited near the active site. In both 2-I-PBG-bound structures, 2-I-PBG is located near the terminus of the cofactor or the tetrapyrrole chain. The propionate group of 2-I-PBG interacts with the side chain of Arg173, and its acetate group is associated with the side chains of Arg26 and Ser28. Furthermore, the aminomethyl group and pyrrole nitrogen of 2-I-PBG form hydrogen bonds with the side chains of Gln34 and Asp99, respectively. These amino acid residues form a single substrate-binding site, where each of the four PBG molecules covalently binds to the cofactor (or oligopyrrole chain) consecutively, ultimately forming a hexapyrrole chain. Molecular dynamics simulation of the ES2 intermediate suggested that the thermal fluctuation of the lid and cofactor-binding loops causes substrate recruitment and oligopyrrole chain shift needed for consecutive condensation. Finally, the hexapyrrole chain is hydrolyzed self-catalytically to produce hydroxymethylbilane.
