Abstract Neither normal human B lymphoblasts (RPMI 6410) transformed by the EB virus nor human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) stimulated by a mitogen replicated well when the methionine (Met) of the medium was replaced with homocysteine (Hcy). Cbl bound to human transcobalamin II (TC II) substantially increased cell division over that observed when the Cbl of the medium was in the free form. Although, as expected, the TC II enhanced the cell entry of Cbl 1000-fold, this was not the basis of the TC II effect. Through adjustment of the respective concentrations of free Cbl and TC II-Cbl in the medium, equal amounts of Cbl entered the cell, yet the TC II effect persisted. TC II-Cbl did not restore cell division in the absence of Met by virus-transformed lymphoblasts from a child with defective Met synthesis from Hcy. The TC II did not act by enhanced induction of the Cbl-dependent methionine synthase activity of cell extracts but the ability of intact cells to produce Met from Hcy by the Cbl-dependent process appeared to have a role in the TC II effect.
