The expression of four pyridoxal kinase (PDXK) human variants in Drosophila impacts on genome integrity

Abstract In eukaryotes, pyridoxal kinase (PDXK) acts in vitamin B6 salvage pathway to produce pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP), the active form of the vitamin, which is implicated in numerous crucial metabolic reactions. In Drosophila, mutations in the dPdxk gene cause chromosome aberrations (CABs) and...
