title: delta-Aminolevulinic acid-synthesizing enzymes need an RNA moiety for activity.
abstract: When Chlamydomonas enzymes that convert glutamate to delta-aminolevulinic acid are separated into three fractions, one of the fractions contains RNA, and the RNA moiety is needed for the enzyme activity.
