Abstract: The caseinolytic mitochondrial matrix peptidase chaperone subunit (ClpX) plays an important role in the heme-dependent regulation of 5-aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS1), a key enzyme in heme biosynthesis. However, the mechanisms underlying the role of ClpX in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2022.920668

Abstract: 5-Aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS; E.C. 2.3.1.37) is a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the key regulatory step of porphyrin biosynthesis in metazoa, fungi, and α-proteobacteria. ALAS is evolutionarily related to transaminases and is therefore classified… read more here.
