In silico and in vivo models for Qatari-Specific classical homocystinuria as basis for development of novel therapies. by Ismail, Hesham M

“…Wildtype CBS, but not the p.R336C mutant, was able to restore the yeast growth in ΔCBS deficient yeast in a complementation assay. The p.R336C knock-in HEK293T and HepG2 cells decreased the level of CBS expression and reduce its structural stability; however, treatment of the p.R336C knock-in HEK293T cells with betaine, a chemical chaperone, restored the stability and tetrameric conformation of CBS, but not its activity. …”
