Abstract excerpt
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as in all eukaryotic organisms, delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a precursor of porphyrin biosynthesis, a very finely regulated pathway. ALA enters yeast cells through the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) permease Uga4. The incorporation of a metabolite into the cells may be a limiting step for its intracellular metabolization. To determine the relationship between ALA transport and...
