Abstract excerpt
Uroporphyrinogen III is the committed intermediate common to heme and siroheme biosynthesis in E. coli. Uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase is the first enzyme at the branch point which commits to heme synthesis. A hemin-permeable hemA mutant which could grow on 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) or hemi...
