Inhibition of porphobilinogenase by porphyrins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The biosynthesis of uroporphyrinogen III, the precursor of hemes, chlorophylls, corrins and related structures, is catalyzed by the porphobilinogenase system (PBGase), a complex of two enzymes, PBG-Deaminase (PBG-D) and Isomerase. Although the separate enzymes have been studied in some detail less w...
