Analysis of coproporphyrinogen III oxidase in maize : the genes, their expression, and the localization of their products

Creator:

Williams, Pascale M.

Abstract:

Coproporphyrinogen III oxidase (CPX) is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles, catalyzing the oxidative decarboxylation of coproporphyrinogen III to protoporphyrinogen IX. In bacteria and yeast this enzyme is cytosolic, in animals it is mitochondrial, and in each it functions to produce heme. However, in all plants investigated, the...
