Abstract excerpt
Holocarboxylase synthetase (HCS) deficiency is a metabolic disorder that causes a biotin-responsive multiple carboxylase deficiency. We analyzed the kinetic properties of seven mutant HCS proteins. Two of these enzymes harbored mutations within the putative biotin-binding region of HCS and showed elevated Km values for biotin compared with that of the wild-type form (Km mutant; Gly581Ser: 45 times, delThr610: 3...
