[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HEM2_HUMAN HEM2_HUMAN]] Defects in ALAD are the cause of acute hepatic porphyria (AHEPP) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/612740 612740]]. A form of porphyria. Porphyrias are inherited defects in the biosynthesis of heme, resulting in the accumulation and increased excretion of porphyrins or porphyrin precursors. They are classified as erythropoietic or hepatic, depending on whether the enzyme deficiency occurs in red blood cells or in the liver. AHP is characterized by attacks of gastrointestinal disturbances, abdominal colic, paralysis, and peripheral neuropathy. Most attacks are precipitated by drugs, alcohol, caloric deprivation, infections, or endocrine factors.<ref>PMID:1569184</ref> <ref>PMID:2063868</ref> <ref>PMID:1309003</ref> <ref>PMID:10706561</ref> <ref>PMID:17236137</ref> | |||

== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
Porphobilinogen synthase (PBGS) catalyzes the first common step in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles (such as heme and chlorophyll). Although the predominant oligomeric form of this enzyme, as inferred from many crystal structures, is that of a homo-octamer, a rare human PBGS allele, F12L, reveals the presence of a hexameric form. Rearrangement of an N-terminal arm is responsible for this oligomeric switch, which results in profound changes in kinetic behavior. The structural transition between octamer and hexamer must proceed through an unparalleled equilibrium containing two different dimer structures. The allosteric magnesium, present in most PBGS, has a binding site in the octamer but not in the hexamer. The unprecedented structural rearrangement reported here relates to the allosteric regulation of PBGS and suggests that alternative PBGS oligomers may function in a magnesium-dependent regulation of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis in plants and some bacteria. | |||
