Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) gene are known to cause homocystinuria and may also be a significant risk factor for premature atherosclerosis. We have previously shown that the human CBS protein can substitute for the endogenous yeast CBS protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We now show that expression of three different CBS mutants known to be associated with reduced enzyme activity in...
