Abstract
Hydroxymethylbilane synthase (porphobilinogen deaminase) from Escherichia coli uses a novel pyrromethane cofactor to bind the growing pyrrolic chain for hydroxymethylbilane biosynthesis [Hart, Miller, Leeper & Battersby (1987) J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1762-1765]. We show that this cofactor is bound to the protein through the sulphur atom of a cysteine residue.Entities:
