    Patients with porphyrias should always be assessed for the presence of the ALAS2 gain-of-function modifier variants identified here. A key region of the ALAS2 carboxyterminal region is identified by the truncation mutations, and the correlation of increased thermolability with activity suggests that increased molecular flexibility/active site openness is the mechanism of enhanced function of mutations in this region.

    From pH jump experiments, comparable rates for the denaturation of the tertiary structure and PLP-microenvironment were discerned, indicating that the catalytic active site geometry strongly depends on the stable tertiary structural organization. Lastly, we demonstrate that partially folded ALAS tends to self-associate into higher oligomeric species at moderate GuHCl concentrations.
