Dynamics of Monoterpene Formation in Spike Lavender Plants

Metabolites, 2017
The metabolic cross-talk between the mevalonate (MVA) and the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathways was analyzed in spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia Med) on the basis of 13CO2-labelling experiments using wildtype and transgenic plants ...

The role of statin drugs in combating cardiovascular diseases –A review [PDF]

, 2011
Statins clearly confer substantial benefit in people with established cardiovascular (CV) disease. Increased cholesterol levels have been associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and statins are therefore used in the prevention of these diseases ...

Cross‐Species Reprogramming of Developmental Plasticity and Metabolic Rewiring via Banana‐Derived WUS2 Developmental Regulator

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant regeneration is governed by intrinsic gene regulation and phytohormonal cues. WUSCHEL (WUS) gene promotes regeneration, but its broader functional role remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that the constitutive and inducible expression of banana‐derived WUS2 (GN‐WUS2) enhances regeneration in Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) and Musa ...

Statins regulate kinase signaling by causing changes in phosphorylation, rather than through changes in gene expression or direct inhibition: evidence in colorectal cancer

Frontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionStatins, widely used for hypercholesterolemia, have shown anticancer properties including induction of apoptosis and ferroptosis, modulation of autophagy, and reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment, making them potential candidates for ...

Analysis of BpbHLH Gene Family Responsive to MeJA Signalling in Betula platyphylla Suk. and Functional Mechanisms of BpbHLH42/44 in Genetic Improvement and Triterpenoid Biosynthesis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factor family regulates plant secondary metabolism, development and stress responses. Although triterpenoids such as betulinic acid (BA), betulin (BT) and oleanolic acid (OA) from Betula platyphylla Suk.

Inhibition of human mevalonate kinase by allosteric inhibitors of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase

FEBS Open Bio
Mevalonate kinase is a key regulator of the mevalonate pathway, subject to feedback inhibition by the downstream metabolite farnesyl pyrophosphate. In this study, we validated the hypothesis that monophosphonate compounds mimicking farnesyl pyrophosphate

Endogenous sterol intermediates of the mevalonate pathway regulate HMGCR degradation and SREBP-2 processing[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2019
Sterol-regulated HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) degradation and SREBP-2 cleavage are two major feedback regulatory mechanisms governing cholesterol biosynthesis.

Root Structural and Metabolic Plasticity Confers Tolerance to Salinity in Wild Barley Species Grown Under Waterlogging

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salinity combined with waterlogging is a major abiotic stress that severely limits crop growth and yield. We investigated species‐specific adaptations to salinity under constant waterlogging conditions in the wild halophytic barleys Hordeum marinum and H. glaucum, compared with the cultivated H. vulgare.

The effect of decreased plasma cholesterol concentration on circulatinga mevalonate metabolism in rats.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1981
Circulating mevalonate is metabolized by two mechanisms: the sterol pathways leading to cholesterol and the shunt pathway resulting in CO2 production. The kidney is the chief site of circulating mevalonate metabolism by both pathways.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...
