We have cloned and sequenced a cDNA clone coding for human erythrocyte porphobilinogen deaminase. It encompasses the translated region, part of the 5' and the 3' untranslated regions. The deduced 344 amino acid sequence is consistent with the molecular weight and the partial amino-acid sequence of the NH2 terminal of the purified erythrocyte enzyme. Southern analysis of human genomic DNA shows that its gene is present as a single copy in the human genome and Northern analysis demonstrates the presence of a single size species of mRNA in erythroid and non-erythroid tissues and in several cultured cell lines. Quantitative determinations indicate that the amount of PBG-D mRNA is modulated both by the erythroid nature of the tissue and by cell proliferation, probably at the transcriptional level.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011061 Poly A A group of adenine ribonucleotides in which the phosphate residues of each adenine ribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the ribose moieties. Adenine Polynucleotides,Polyadenylic Acids,Poly(rA),Polynucleotides, Adenine
D011163 Hydroxymethylbilane Synthase An enzyme that catalyzes the tetrapolymerization of the monopyrrole PORPHOBILINOGEN into the hydroxymethylbilane preuroporphyrinogen (UROPORPHYRINOGENS) in several discrete steps. It is the third enzyme in the 8-enzyme biosynthetic pathway of HEME. In humans, deficiency in this enzyme encoded by HMBS (or PBGD) gene results in a form of neurological porphyria (PORPHYRIA, ACUTE INTERMITTENT). This enzyme was formerly listed as EC 4.3.1.8 Porphobilinogen Ammonia-Lyase,Porphobilinogen Deaminase,Uroporphyrinogen I Synthase,Hydroxymethylbilane Synthetase,Pre-uroporphyrinogen Synthetase,Preuroporphyrinogen Synthetase,Ammonia-Lyase, Porphobilinogen,Deaminase, Porphobilinogen,Porphobilinogen Ammonia Lyase,Pre uroporphyrinogen Synthetase,Synthase, Hydroxymethylbilane,Synthase, Uroporphyrinogen I,Synthetase, Hydroxymethylbilane,Synthetase, Pre-uroporphyrinogen,Synthetase, Preuroporphyrinogen

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
