Abstract excerpt
Gaucher disease results from impaired activity of the lysosomal enzyme beta-glucocerebrosidase. More than 200 mutations within the glucocerebrosidase gene have been associated with this disease. In this study we tested the effect of several mutations (K157Q, D140H, E326K, D140H+E326K, V394L and R463C) on RNA stability, protein stability and activity toward four different fluorescent substrates (LR-12-GC,...
