Abstract excerpt
Propionic acidemia results from deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) activity. PCC is a biotin-dependent, mitochondrial enzyme composed of alpha- and beta-subunits (structure, alpha 4 beta 4), with the alpha-subunit containing the biotin ligand. About two-thirds of fibroblast lines from patients with mutations in the PCCB (beta-subunit) gene show interallelic complementation in cell fusion experiments...
