Abstract excerpt
Current studies on the Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein Dap1p have demonstrated a heme-related function within the ergosterol biosynthetic pathway. Here we present data to further the understanding of the role of heme in the proper biological functioning of Dap1p in cellular processes. First, we examined the role of Dap1p in stabilizing the P450 enzyme, Erg11p, a key regulatory protein in ergosterol biosynthesis....
