Summary
CBS (cystathionine beta-synthase, HGNC:1550) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 21q22.3, encoding Cystathionine beta-synthase (P35520). Hydro-lyase catalyzing the first step of the transsulfuration pathway, where the hydroxyl group of L-serine is displaced by L-homocysteine in a beta-replacement reaction to form L-cystathionine, the precursor of L-cysteine.
The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer to catalyze the conversion of homocysteine to cystathionine, the first step in the transsulfuration pathway. The encoded protein is allosterically activated by adenosyl-methionine and uses pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. Defects in this gene can cause cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency (CBSD), which can lead to homocystinuria. This gene is a major contributor to cellular hydrogen sulfide production. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Function. Hydro-lyase catalyzing the first step of the transsulfuration pathway, where the hydroxyl group of L-serine is displaced by L-homocysteine in a beta-replacement reaction to form L-cystathionine, the precursor of L-cysteine. This catabolic route allows the elimination of L-methionine and the toxic metabolite L-homocysteine. Also involved in the production of hydrogen sulfide, a gasotransmitter with signaling and cytoprotective effects on neurons.
Subunit / interactions. Homotetramer.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. In the adult strongly expressed in liver and pancreas, some expression in heart and brain, weak expression in lung and kidney. In the fetus, expressed in brain, liver and kidney.
Disease relevance. Cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency (CBSD) [MIM:236200] An enzymatic deficiency resulting in altered sulfur metabolism and homocystinuria. The clinical features of untreated homocystinuria due to CBS deficiency include myopia, ectopia lentis, intellectual disability, skeletal anomalies resembling Marfan syndrome, and thromboembolic events. Light skin and hair can also be present. Biochemical features include increased urinary homocystine and methionine. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Allosterically activated by S-adenosyl-methionine/AdoMet. Activated by S-adenosylhomocysteine/AdoHcy. Binds non-covalently to a heme group that may control the redox sensitivity of the enzyme.
Pathway. Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-cysteine biosynthesis; L-cysteine from L-homocysteine and L-serine: step 1/2.
Similarity. Belongs to the cysteine synthase/cystathionine beta-synthase family.
