Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of the uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase defect in eleven yeast 'uroporphyric' mutants was investigated. Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase, an enzyme of the haem-biosynthetic pathway, catalyses the decarboxylation of uroporphyrinogen to coproporphyrinogen and is encoded by the HEM12 gene in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mutations were identified by sequencing the mutant hem12 alleles...
