Abstract excerpt

Ferrochelatase is a mitochondrial inner membrane-bound enzyme that catalyzes the incorporation of ferrous iron into protoporphyrin, the last step in protoheme biosynthesis. It is encoded by the HEM15 gene in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Five hem15 mutants causing defective heme synthesis a...
