Abstract excerpt
We have amplified the cDNA for the transacylase (E2) subunit of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKAD) complex from a thiamine-responsive MSUD cell line (WG-34) by the polymerase chain reaction. Sequencing of the amplified WG-34 cDNA showed a 17-bp insertion (AAATACCTTGTTACCAG) apparently resulting from an aberrant splicing of the E2 gene, and a missense (T----G) mutation that changes Phe215 to...
