Abstract excerpt
In the present study we have investigated deleterious mutants in the uroporphyrinogen III synthase (UROIIIS) that are related to the congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP). The 25 missense mutants found in CEP patients have been cloned, expressed, and purified. Their enzymatic activities have been measured relative to wild-type UROIIIS activity. All mutants retain measurable activity, consistent with the...
