Abstract excerpt
We have used expression of human medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) in Escherichia coli as a model system for dissecting the molecular effects of two mutations detected in patients with MCAD deficiency. We demonstrate that the R28C mutation predominantly affects polypeptide folding. The amounts of active R28C mutant enzyme produced could be modulated between undetectable to 100% of the wild-type control...
