One ring closer to a closure: the crystal structure of the
Hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS), involved in haem biosynthesis, catalyses the head‐to‐tail coupling of four porphobilinogens (PBGs) via a dipyrromethane (DPM) cofactor.

Identification and characterization of 40 novel hydroxymethylbilane synthase mutations that cause acute intermittent porphyria. [PDF]
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), an autosomal dominant disorder due to the half‐normal activity of hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS), is characterized by acute neurovisceral attacks that are precipitated by factors that induce heme biosynthesis ...

A novel 3-base deletion (IVS3+2_4delTGG) of the hydroxymethylbilane synthase gene in a Brazilian patient with acute intermittent porphyria [PDF]
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP, OMIM 176000) is an autosomal dominant metabolic disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS; EC 4.3.1.8; formely named porphobilinogen deaminase, PBGD), mapped to chromosome 11q23.

Identification and molecular analysis of 17 novel hydroxymethylbilane synthase mutations in 69 Chinese patients with acute intermittent porphyria [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease caused by mutations to the hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene in the heme biosynthesis pathway. AIP is a rare disease that is thought to display incomplete

Simultaneous determination of hydroxymethylbilane synthase and uroporphyrinogen III synthase in erythrocytes by high-performance liquid chromatography [PDF]
A high-performance-liquid-chromatographic method is developed for the simultaneous determination of hydroxymethylbilane synthase and uroporphyrinogen III synthase activity in erythrocytes. Effective separation of uroporphyrin I and III isomers allows the accurate quantification of individual isomers and the total uroporphyrin concentration.

A simple rapid purification scheme for hydroxymethylbilane synthase from human erythrocytes [PDF]
Hydroxymethylbilane synthase from human erythrocytes was purified 47,000-fold to greater than 95% homogeneity and 7.5% yield by a simple and rapid procedure using heat treatment (80 degrees C, in the presence of proteinase inhibitors, to convert one of two chromatographically separable forms into the other), DEAE-cellulose and Cibacron Blue F3G-A ...
