Cystathionine is then cleaved by means of the β-elimination of the homocysteine portion of the molecule leaving behind an unstable imino acid, which is attacked by water to form pyruvate and ammonia (catalysed by the metC-encoded cystathionine β-lyase). (wikipedia.org)
The reverse pathway is present in several organisms, including humans, and involves the transfer of the thiol group from homocysteine to cysteine via a similar mechanism. (wikipedia.org)
The direct sulfurylation pathways for the synthesis of cysteine or homocysteine proceeds via the replacement of the acetyl/succinyl group with free sulfide (via the cysK or cysM -encoded cysteine synthase. (wikipedia.org)
Homocystinuria is a disorder of methionine metabolism, leading to an abnormal accumulation of homocysteine and its metabolites (homocystine, homocysteine-cysteine complex, and others) in blood and urine. (medscape.com)
The accumulation of homocysteine and its metabolites is caused by disruption of any of the 3 interrelated pathways of methionine metabolism-deficiency in the cystathionine B-synthase (CBS) enzyme, defective methylcobalamin synthesis, or abnormality in methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). (medscape.com)
Conversion of homocysteine back to methionine, catalyzed by MTHFR and methylcobalamin, is termed the remethylation pathway. (medscape.com)

Conversion of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) to homocysteine increased and the metabolism of homocysteine was reduced under diabetic conditions, and consequently homocysteine accumulated in the elimination phase. (biomedcentral.com)
Under such metabolic stress conditions, supplies of L-cysteine for glutathione synthesis become limiting, so homocysteine is diverted from the transmethylation pathway (which forms methionine) into the transsulfuration pathway (which forms cystathionine). (pathbank.org)

Enzyme3
In that article I discussed how there appears to be two differing perspectives on the nature of CBS (cystathionine beta synthase) gene mutations: the literature's contention of "down-regulated" CBS enzyme activity among carriers of certain mutations, and certain empirical, clinical observations of the opposite situation, specifically that certain CBS gene mutations can cause an "up-regulation" to enzyme activity.
