Biosynthesis of human cystathionine beta-synthase in cultured fibroblasts.
A single specific radiolabeled polypeptide with an apparent Mr = 63,000 was recovered when cystathionine beta-synthase (EC 4.2.1.22) was precipitated from extracts of radiolabeled cultured human fibroblasts with an antiserum raised against pure human liver synthase, and the immunocomplexes were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel ...

Homocysteine and reactive oxygen species in metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and atheroscleropathy: The pleiotropic effects of folate supplementation [PDF]
Homocysteine has emerged as a novel independent marker of risk for the development of cardiovascular disease over the past three decades. Additionally, there is a graded mortality risk associated with an elevated fasting plasma total homocysteine (tHcy).

Hydrogen sulfide pathway and skeletal muscle: an introductory review. [PDF]
The presence of the H2 S pathway in skeletal muscle (SKM) has recently been established. SKM expresses the three constitutive H2 S-generating enzymes in animals and humans, and it actively produces H2 S.

ON THE ROLE OF CYSTATHIONINE-γ-LYASE IN MODULATING TRANSSULFURATION PATHWAY IN THE LENS [PDF]
In Mammals transsulfuration pathway enables the conversion of homocysteine (Hcy), deriving from methionine (Met) transmetilation, into cysteine (Cys) through two steps, the first catalyzed by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and the second one by ...

One can’t stand on its own: Are non-luminescence traits necessary for V. fischeri colonization of E. scolopes? [PDF]
Vibrio fischeri and Euprymna scolopes squid establish mutualistic symbiosis and select for each other in the natural environment. V. fischeri provides bioluminescent camouflage for E. scolopes while E. scolopes provides nutrients for V. fischeri.

Rat cystathionine beta-synthase. Gene organization and alternative splicing.
We elucidated the structure and alternative splicing patterns of the rat cystathionine beta-synthase gene. The gene is 20-25 kilobase pairs long, and its coding region is divided into 17 exons. These are alternatively spliced, forming four distinct mRNAs (types I through IV).

Methionine metabolism in an animal model of sepsis [PDF]
Background: Sepsis is a disease with high incidence and lethality and is accompanied by profound metabolic disturbances. In mammalian methionine metabolism, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is produced, which is important in the synthesis of neurotransmitters ...
