Abstract excerpt
Argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) is a urea cycle enzyme with a tetrameric structure composed of identical subunits. Citrullinemia is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a deficiency of ASS. We have previously identified 20 mutations in ASS mRNA of human classical citrullinemia. However, it is difficult to evaluate the effects of each mutation on the enzyme structure and function, since most of the patients...
