A point-mutation in the C-domain of CMP-sialic acid synthetase leads to lethality of medaka due to protein insolubility

Abstract Vertebrate CMP-sialic acid synthetase (CSS), which catalyzes the synthesis of CMP-sialic acid (CMP-Sia), consists of a 28 kDa-N-domain and a 20 kDa-C-domain. The N-domain is known to be a catalytic domain; however, the significance of the C-domain still remains unknown. To elucidate the fun...
