Abstract excerpt
The Duarte allele (D) is a missense mutation (N314D) that produces a characteristic isoform and partial impairment of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) in human erythrocytes, fibroblasts, and transformed lymphoblasts. The position of this amino acid is distant, however, from presumptive catalytic site(s) as deduced from a three-dimensional model of crystallized Escherichia coli galT protein. To...
