Abstract excerpt
Missense mutant proteins, such as those produced in individuals with genetic diseases, are often misfolded and subject to processing by intracellular quality control systems. Previously, we have shown using a yeast system that enzymatic function could be restored to I278T cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS), a cause of homocystinuria, by treatments that affect the intracellular chaperone environment. Here, we...
