Abstract excerpt
Oculocutaneous albinism type 1TS is caused by mutations that render the melanocyte-specific enzyme tyrosinase temperature-sensitive (ts); the enzyme is inactive in cells grown at 37 degrees C but displays full activity in cells grown at 31 degrees C. To distinguish whether the ts phenotype of the common R402Q variant of human tyrosinase is due to altered enzymatic activity or to misfolding and a defect in...
