| Type: | Family | Name: | Heme biosynthesis-associated TPR protein |
| Description: | This is a family of uncharacterised tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) proteins invariably found in heme biosynthesis gene clusters. The absence of any invariant residues other than Ala argues against this protein serving as an enzyme per se. The gene symbol hemY assigned in E. coli is unfortunate in that an unrelated protein, protoporphyrinogen oxidase (HemG in E. coli) is designated HemY in Bacillus subtilis. | Short Name: | Heme_biosyn_assoc_TPR_pro |
