{delta}-Aminolevulinic Acid Transaminase in Chlorella vulgaris

Merrill Gassman2, Josip Pluscec3 and Lawrence Bogorad4

Department of Botany, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois

An enzyme catalyzing the formation of {delta}-aminolevulinic acid by transamination of {gamma},{delta}-dioxovaleric acid with L-{alpha}-alanine, L-glutamic acid, or L-phenylalanine has been detected in extracts of Chlorella vulgaris. The activity of this enzyme does not appear to parallel changes in chlorophyll content in a Chlorella mutant which requires light for chlorophyll production. The role of this enzyme in {delta}-aminolevulinic acid metabolism in plants is not clearly understood.
