Microbial production of mevalonate

Journal of Biotechnology, 2023
Mevalonate, an important intermediate product of the mevalonate pathway, has a broad spectrum of applications. With the rapid growth of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, mevalonate biosynthesis by microorganisms is feasible and holds great promise in the future.

Basic and Clinical Observations of Mevalonate Depletion on the Mevalonate Signaling Pathway

Current Molecular Pharmacology, 2017
Inhibition of hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase by pharmaceuticals, commonly referred to as statins, has proven to be an effective and efficient way in reducing cholesterol levels in patients. As a result of this intervention, mevalonate production, formed during cholesterol synthesis, is inhibited.

Both the mevalonate and the non-mevalonate pathways are involved in ginsenoside biosynthesis

Plant Cell Reports, 2013
When one of them was inhibited, the two pathways could compensate with each other to guarantee normal growth. Moreover, the sterol biosynthesis inhibitor miconazole could enhance ginsenoside level.Ginsenosides, a kind of triterpenoid saponins derived from isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), represent the main pharmacologically active constituents of ...

Targeting the Mevalonate Pathway in Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Cancer, 2021
The mevalonate synthesis inhibitors, statins, are mainstay therapeutics for cholesterol management and cardiovascular health. Thirty years of research has uncovered supportive roles for the mevalonate pathway in numerous cellular processes that support ...

Metabolic Induction of Trained Immunity through the Mevalonate Pathway

open access: yesCell, 2018
Innate immune cells can develop long-term memory after stimulation by microbial products during infections or vaccinations. Here, we report that metabolic signals can induce trained immunity. Pharmacological and genetic experiments reveal that activation

Mevalonate Pathway Blockade, Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Autophagy: A Possible Link [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2015
The mevalonate pathway, crucial for cholesterol synthesis, plays a key role in multiple cellular processes. Deregulation of this pathway is also correlated with diminished protein prenylation, an important post-translational modification necessary to ...

Mevalonate metabolism in cancer

Cancer Letters, 2015
Cancer cells are characterized by sustained proliferative signaling, insensitivity to growth suppressors and resistance to apoptosis as well as by replicative immortality, the capacity to induce angiogenesis and to perform invasive growth. Additional hallmarks of cancer cells include the reprogramming of energy metabolism as well as the ability to ...

A mevalonate kinase assay

Analytical Biochemistry, 1970
Abstract A suitable assay has been developed for accurate measurements of mevalonate kinase in a crude enzyme preparation. The assay is particularly useful where comparative, tissue-specific, or developmental studies are to be made on mevalonate kinase.

Regulation of the mevalonate pathway

Nature, 1990
The mevalonate pathway produces isoprenoids that are vital for diverse cellular functions, ranging from cholesterol synthesis to growth control. Several mechanisms for feedback regulation of low-density-lipoprotein receptors and of two enzymes involved in mevalonate biosynthesis ensure the production of sufficient mevalonate for several end-products ...
