Abstract excerpt
Siroheme, a cofactor of both sulfite and nitrite reductase in Salmonella typhimurium, requires the cysG gene for its synthesis. Three steps are required to synthesize siroheme from uroporphyrinogen III, the last common intermediate in the heme and siroheme pathways. All previously characterized cysG mutants were shown to be defective for the synthesis of cobalamin (B12), which shares a common precursor with...
