چکیده

SOURCE/DESCRIPTION : A 1.7 kb Eco RI-Taq I fragment was used as a probe. This fraciment was isolated from pUSE 109 containing a 7 kb Eco RI genomic fragment from the human porphobilinogen(PBG) deaminase(EC 4.1.3.8.) gene. (1) POLYMORPHISM : Pst I digests of human genomic DNA were hybridized to the probe. This presented a two ailele polymorphism with bands of 2.2 kb(A1), 1.4 kb(A2) and constant bands of 1.6 kb, 0.7 kb.

Availability of porphobilinogen controls appearance of porphobilinogen deaminase activity in Escherichia coli K-12.

A hemin-permeable hemB mutant had no 5-aminolevulinate dehydratase (ALA D) and extremely low porphobilinogen deaminase (PBG D) activity. When the structural gene for hemB was introduced into this strain on a single-copy plasmid, both activities were observed. When the mutant was grown on PBG, normal PBG D activity was observed. Moreover, a hemA mutant had little or no PBG D activity unless it w...

Allosteric inhibition of human lymphoblast and purified porphobilinogen deaminase by protoporphyrinogen and coproporphyrinogen. A possible mechanism for the acute attack of variegate porphyria.

Variegate porphyria (VP) is characterized by photocutaneous lesions and acute neuropsychiatric attacks. Decreased protoporphyrinogen oxidase activity results in accumulation of protoporphyrin (ogen) IX and coproporphyrin (ogen) III. During acute attacks delta-aminolevulinic acid and porphobilinogen also increase, suggesting that porphobilinogen deaminase (PBG-D) may be rate limiting. We have ex...

Structure and expression of chloroplast-localized porphobilinogen deaminase from pea (Pisum sativum L.) isolated by redundant polymerase chain reaction.

Porphobilinogen (PBG) deaminase catalyzes the polymerization of four PBG monopyrrole units into the linear tetrapyrrole hydroxymethylbilane necessary for the formation of chlorophyll and heme in plant cells. Degenerate oligonucleotide primers were designed based on amino acid sequence data (generated by mass spectrometry) for purified PBG deaminase from pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts. Thes...

Studies on uroporphyrinogen biosynthesis in pig liver.

Porphobilinogen-deaminase (PBG-D) and PBG-D-isomerase complex (PBG-D-I) from pig liver were isolated and partially purified. Uroporphyrinogen I and III formation was found to be linear with time and protein concentration. Optimal pH was about 7.4 and 7.6-7.8 for PBG-D and PBG-D-I complex, respectively. Some properties of the isolated enzymes were studied. Molecular mass determination gave a val...

Heme-biosynthetic porphobilinogen deaminase protects Aspergillus nidulans from nitrosative stress.

Microorganisms have developed mechanisms to combat reactive nitrogen species (RNS); however, only a few of the fungal genes involved have been characterized. Here we screened RNS-resistant Aspergillus nidulans strains from fungal transformants obtained by introducing a genomic DNA library constructed in a multicopy vector. We found that the AN0121.3 gene (hemC) encodes a protein similar to the ...
