Pre-uroporphyrinogen synthase; Porphobilinogen deaminase; catalyzes the conversion of 4-porphobilinogen to hydroxymethylbilane, the third step in heme biosynthesis; localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus; expression is regulated by Hap2p-Hap3p, but not by levels of heme; human homolog HMBS can complement yeast mutant and allow growth of haploid null after sporulation of a heterozygous diploid
