Enhanced production of amyrin in Yarrowia lipolytica using a combinatorial protein and metabolic engineering approach

open access: yesMicrobial Cell Factories, 2022
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.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2008
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]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Colorectal Disease, 2009
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]

open access: yesEng Life Sci
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]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1993
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]

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal, 1993
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]

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal, 1992
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 ...

Host and Pathway Engineering for Enhanced Lycopene Biosynthesis in Yarrowia lipolytica

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Carotenoids are a class of molecules with commercial value as food and feed additives with nutraceutical properties. Shifting carotenoid synthesis from petrochemical-based precursors to bioproduction from sugars and other biorenewable carbon sources ...
