Abstract excerpt

Siroheme is a uroporphyrinogen III-derivative used by sulfite reductase as a prosthetic group. We investigated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the possible involvement in siroheme biosynthesis of three genes, MET1, MET8 and MET20. The MET1 gene from S. cerevisiae was cloned and shown to be the same g...
