PI into acid-precipitable material of primary fibroblasts was assessed according to a protocol described previously42 (link) with modifications as described20 . MMUT enzyme activity assay was performed in fibroblast crude cell lysates as originally described43 ,44 (link) using recent modifications8 (link). MMUT enzyme activity in HEK cells was measured using the same protocol but without radiolabeled substrate (instead only 1 mM of methylmalonyl-CoA was used, Sigma M1762) and final succinate determination was performed by HPLC separation and electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) detection (SCIEX TripleQuad 5500 LC–MS/MS System).
