摘要
We recently described1.2 the discovery of preuroporphyrinogen (preurogen), a labile ([formula omitted] = 4 min), tetrapyrrolic intermediate in the conversion of porphobilinogen (PBG, 1) to uroporphyrinogen (uro'gen) I (2) catalyzed by the enzyme PBG deaminase. The importance of this substance, released from the enzyme and observed as a l3C-enriched species at pH 8.5, resides in its proven role2 as the first recognized substrate for the second enzyme of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis, uro'gen 111 cosynthetase, which has hitherto been considered as a syner. © 1979, American Chemical Society.
