Abstract excerpt
Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) catalyzes the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent condensation of L-serine and L-homocysteine to form L-cystathionine in the first step of the reverse transsulfuration pathway. Residue N84 of yeast CBS (yCBS), predicted to form a hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl moiety of the PLP cofactor, was mutated to alanine, aspartate and histidine. The truncated form of yCBS (ytCBS,...
