Abstract excerpt
Propionic acidemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of intermediary metabolism. It is caused by a deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC, EC 6.4.1.3), a heteropolymeric protein composed of two subunits, alpha and beta. PCC requires ATP and biotin as cofactors for the reaction, the latter enzymatically added onto the alpha subunit. We investigated coding sequence mutations in...
