Abstract excerpt
The gsa gene, which encodes glutamate 1-semialdehyde (GSA) aminotransferase (GSAT), an enzyme in the chlorophyll and heme biosynthetic pathway, has been cloned from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by complementation of an Escherichia coli hemL mutant. The deduced C. reinhardtii GSAT amino acid sequence has a high degree of similarity to GSAT sequences from barley, tobacco, soybean and various prokaryotic sources. In...
