Architecture and regulation of filamentous human cystathionine beta-synthase [PDF]
Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) is an essential metabolic enzyme across all domains of life for the production of glutathione, cysteine, and hydrogen sulfide. Appended to the conserved catalytic domain of human CBS is a regulatory domain that modulates

Oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction in cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency [PDF]
Cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency (CBSD) is the most prevalent inherited disorder of homocysteine metabolism in the transsulphuration pathway. Research have suggested oxidative stress and inflammation as candidate pathogenic mechanisms in CBSD. This

Sulfurtransferases and Cystathionine Beta-Synthase Expression in Different Human Leukemia Cell Lines [PDF]
The studies concerned the expression of sulfurtransferases and cystathionine beta-synthase in six human leukemia cell lines: B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-B-ALL (REH cells), T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-T-ALL (DND-41 and MOLT-4 cells), acute

Cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency causes fat loss in mice. [PDF]
Cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) is the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for the de novo synthesis of cysteine. Patients with CBS deficiency have greatly elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), decreased levels of plasma total cysteine (tCys), and ...

Recent therapeutic approaches to cystathionine beta-synthase-deficient homocystinuria. [PDF]
Cystathionine beta‐synthase (CBS)‐deficient homocystinuria (HCU) is the most common inborn error of sulfur amino acid metabolism. The pyridoxine non‐responsive form of the disease manifests itself by massively increasing plasma and tissue concentrations of homocysteine, a toxic intermediate of methionine metabolism that is thought to be the major cause

Cystathionine beta synthase deficiency and brain edema associated with methionine excess under betaine supplementation: Four new cases and a review of the evidence. [PDF]
CBS deficient individuals undergoing betaine supplementation without sufficient dietary methionine restriction can develop severe hypermethioninemia and brain edema. Brain edema has also been observed in individuals with severe hypermethioninemia without

Recurrent dislocation of binocular crystal lenses in a patient with cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency [PDF]
Background Ectopia lentis is the common ocular manifestation of homocystinuria resulting from cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) deficiency which has a high risk of thromboembolic complications.

A proactive genotype-to-patient-phenotype map for cystathionine beta-synthase [PDF]
Background For the majority of rare clinical missense variants, pathogenicity status cannot currently be classified. Classical homocystinuria, characterized by elevated homocysteine in plasma and urine, is caused by variants in the cystathionine beta ...

Deciphering pathophysiological mechanisms underlying cystathionine beta-synthase-deficient homocystinuria using targeted metabolomics, liver proteomics, sphingolipidomics and analysis of mitochondrial function [PDF]
Background: Cystathionine β-synthase (CBS)-deficient homocystinuria (HCU) is an inherited disorder of sulfur amino acid metabolism with varying severity and organ complications, and a limited knowledge about underlying pathophysiological processes.

An eQTL in the cystathionine beta synthase gene is linked to osteoporosis in laying hens [PDF]
Background Skeletal damage is a challenge for laying hens because the physiological adaptations required for egg laying make them susceptible to osteoporosis.
