Enigmatic Evolutionary History of Porphobilinogen Deaminase in Eukaryotic Phototrophs

open access: yesBiology, 2021
In most eukaryotic phototrophs, the entire heme synthesis is localized to the plastid, and enzymes of cyanobacterial origin dominate the pathway.

Identification of stable reference genes for quantitative gene expression analysis in the duodenum of meat-type ducks

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is an important method to detect gene expression at the molecular level. The selection of appropriate housekeeping genes is the key to accurately calculating the expression level of target genes and ...

A simple rapid purification scheme for hydroxymethylbilane synthase from human erythrocytes [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1988
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 ...

Mortality in Pedigrees with Acute Intermittent Porphyria

open access: yesLife, 2022
High mortality rates have been reported in historical cohorts of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) patients. The mortality associated with (hydroxymethylbilane synthase) HMBS variant heterozygosity is unknown. This study estimates all-cause mortality in

Clinical Features and Outcomes of Acute Intermittent Porphyria Presenting With Acute Quadriparesis: A Case Series and Follow-Up Study. [PDF]

open access: yesEur J Neurol
ABSTRACT Introduction A retrospective case series of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) presenting with acute quadriparesis is described with a focus on patterns of neuropathy and nerve conduction study findings. Methods Six patients with acute polyneuropathy were diagnosed with AIP on the basis of characteristic clinical findings, urine ...

Acute Intermittent Porphyria in a Man with Dual Enzyme Deficiencies

open access: yesCase Reports in Genetics, 2020
Porphyrias are a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders that result from the altered activity of specific enzymes of the heme biosynthetic pathway and are characterized by accumulation of pathway intermediates.

Simultaneous determination of hydroxymethylbilane synthase and uroporphyrinogen III synthase in erythrocytes by high-performance liquid chromatography [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1983
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 study into the cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase reactivation mechanism in corynebacterium glutamicum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
PhDMethionine is one of the seven essential amino-acids for humans and is also used in feed supplements, predominantly for poultry and felines. Thus there is commercial interest in producing this nutrient. The final step in the biological synthesis of
