Abstract excerpt
While many organisms synthesize delta-aminolevulinate, the precursor of heme, by condensing succinyl-coenzyme A and glycine, others use a glutamate-dependent pathway in which glutamyl-tRNA dehydrogenase catalyzes the rate-determining step. The hemeA gene that encodes this latter enzyme in Escherichia coli has been cloned and sequenced. To examine how its expression is regulated, we constructed hemA-lacZ operon...
