The biosynthesis and regulation of isoprenoids

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2002
Isoprenoids constitute a chemically diverse family of naturally occurring compounds with a common structural five-carbon unit, the isoprene. This review presents the biosynthetic pathway of isoprenoids and the primary enzymes incolued. The current researches on nelevant genes and regulation of their actions are also conversed.

Mechanisms and Predisposing Conditions for Statin‐Induced New‐Onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Paradox Relative to Their Pleiotropic Metabolic Effects

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
The primary function of statins is to inhibit cholesterol synthesis, which contributes to their antidiabetic effects. However, the majority of the diabetic effects of statins are due to inhibition of isoprenoid synthesis. Atorvastatin, simvastatin and rosuvastatin possess the most pronounced diabetogenic properties. In contrast, lovastatin, fluvastatin,

Atorvastatin Reduces Alcohol‐Related Cardiac and Liver Tissue Damage, Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, Apoptosis, and Thiol‐Disulfide Imbalance in Rats

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Atorvastatin (40 mg/kg) inhibited fibrosis, hypertrophy, apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress caused by alcohol consumption. It may contribute to the regulation of mitochondrial function and thiol/disulfide balance by limiting alcohol‐related heart and liver damage.

Differentiation of Plant and Animal‐Derived Cholesterol Using irm‐13C NMR and IRMS

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Volume 64, Issue 8, Page 701-708, August 2026.
Determining and certifying the origin of ingredients, starting materials, and excipients used in manufactured goods like cosmetics and medicines can be difficult. In this report, we describe a robust approach for identifying the origin of cholesterol, a component of myriad consumer products using irm‐13C NMR and IRMS to differentiate plant versus ...

Identification and biosynthesis of a novel xanthomonadin-dialkylresorcinol-hybrid from Azoarcus sp. BH72.

PLoS ONE, 2014
A novel xanthomonadin-dialkylresorcinol hybrid named arcuflavin was identified in Azoarcus sp. BH72 by a combination of feeding experiments, HPLC-MS and MALDI-MS and gene clusters encoding the biosynthesis of this non-isoprenoid aryl-polyene containing ...

The Biosynthesis of Isoprenoids and the Mechanisms Regulating It in Plants

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2011
Plants synthesize isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) via the mevalonate pathway and the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway. IPP is condensed to its allylic isomer, dimethylallyl diphosphate, to yield geranylgeranyl diphosphate, a common precursor for the production of cyclic diterpenoids.

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 2675-2712, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing

Analysis of isoprenoid biosynthesis in peroxisomal-deficient Pex2 CHO cell lines

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
ZR-78 and ZR-82 cells are two peroxisomal-deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants. These cells lack normal peroxisomes and show reduced levels of plasmalogen synthesis and other peroxisomal functions attributed to the deficiency of peroxisomal

Comparative analysis of the biosynthesis of isoprenoid and aromatic cytokinins

Доклады Академии наук, 2019
To compare the biosynthesis pathways of aromatic and isoprenoid cytokinins, a series of nucleoside derivatives of natural cytokinins was synthesized and their cytokinin activity was determined in a test system based on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Cytokinin nucleosides are known to lack the hormonal activity until cleaving the ribose moiety at
