Abstract excerpt
Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) catalyzes the formation of cystathionine from homocysteine and serine. CBS is allosterically activated by S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), which binds to its C-terminal regulatory domain. Mutations in this domain lead to variants with high residual activity but lacking SAM activation. We characterized six C-terminal CBS variants (p.P427L, p.D444N, p.V449G, p.S500L, p.K523Sfs*18, and...
