Abstract excerpt
Methionine synthase (MS) catalyses the methylation of homocysteine to methionine and requires the vitamin B12 derivative, methylcobalamin, as cofactor. We and others have recently cloned cDNAs for MS and described mutations associated with the cblG complementation group that correspond to MS deficiency. A subset of cblG, known as "cblG variant," shows no detectable MS activity and failure of [57Co]CN cobalamin to...
