The cystathionine β- synthase ( CBS ) is an enzyme from the group of lyases that in the transfer of sulfur-containing molecules ( transsulfuration ) in the amino acid metabolism is involved.

properties

The first step of cysteine ​​synthesis (upper reaction) is catalyzed by the CBS

The cystathionine-β-synthase catalyzes the coupling of homocysteine to serine , whereby cystathionine is formed with the loss of a water molecule . As a co-factor is pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) and heme used. Cystathionine-β-synthase is activated allosterically by S-adenosylmethionine . It contains an active center and two CBS domains of protein domains. A restricted function of the CBS leads to cysteinuria and homocysteinuria and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases . Mutations in the CBS gene are associated with homocysteinuria. In animals, the CBS is mainly produced in the liver . The T833C mutation is associated with an increased risk of stroke . The gene expression of the CBS is initiated by the transcription factor farnesoid X receptor . CBS is overexpressed in some tumor cells .

The cystathionine-β-synthase belongs to the L-serine hydrolyases . Originally, a methylcysteine ​​synthase was classified with the EC number EC  4.2.1.23 in 1961 . However, this was a side reaction of cystathionine β synthase, which is why the EC number in 1972 was deleted.
