physiological function | it is possible to restore significant levels of enzyme activity to 17 of 18 disease causing missense mutations in human cystathionine beta-synthase expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by exposure to ethanol, proteasome inhibitors, e.g. bortezomib or MG132, or deletion of the Hsp26 small heat shock protein. All three of these treatments induce Hsp70, which is necessary but not sufficient for rescue, overview. The treatment can also rescue disease-causing mutations in human p53 and the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase gene | Homo sapiens |
