Background Amyrin is an important triterpenoid and precursor to a wide range of cosmetic, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. In this study, we metabolically engineered the oleaginous yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica to produce α- and β-amyrin on simple

Spt2p defines a new transcription-dependent gross chromosomal rearrangement pathway.
Large numbers of gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs) are frequently observed in many cancers. High mobility group 1 (HMG1) protein is a non-histone DNA-binding protein and is highly expressed in different types of tumors.

Expression of HMG1 and metastasis of colorectal cancer [PDF]
Dear Editor: I read the recent publication by Huang et al. with a great interest. The expression on high-mobility group box-1 (HMG1) and its correlation to metastasis in colorectal cancer is reported in this study. Huang et al. reached to the conclusion that “The HMGI-C and HMGI(Y) quantitations by real-time RT-PCR are associated with Dukes’ staging ...

Microbial Squalene: A Sustainable Alternative for the Cosmetics and Pharmaceutical Industry - A Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Squalene is a natural triterpenoid and a biosynthetic precursor of steroids and hopanoids in microorganisms, plants, humans, and other animals. Squalene has exceptional properties, such as its antioxidant activity, a high penetrability of the skin, and the ability to trigger the immune system, promoting its application in the cosmetic ...

Solution structure of a DNA-binding domain from HMG1 [PDF]
We have determined the tertiary structure of box 2 from hamster HMG1 using bacterial expression and 3D NMR. The all alpha-helical fold is in the form of a V-shaped arrowhead with helices along two edges and one rather flat face. This architecture is not related to any of the known DNA binding motifs.

Structure of the HMG box motif in the B‐domain of HMG1. [PDF]
The conserved, abundant chromosomal protein HMG1 consists of two highly homologous, folded, basic DNA-binding domains, each of approximately 80 amino acid residues, and an acidic C-terminal tail. Each folded domain represents an 'HMG box', a sequence motif recently recognized in certain sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins and which also occurs in ...

SRY, like HMG1, recognizes sharp angles in DNA. [PDF]
HMG boxes are DNA binding domains present in chromatin proteins, general transcription factors for nucleolar and mitochondrial RNA polymerases, and gene- and tissue-specific transcriptional regulators. The HMG boxes of HMG1, an abundant component of chromatin, interact specifically with four-way junctions, DNA structures that are cross-shaped and ...
