Summary: Lipids, such as cholesterol and fatty acids, influence cell signaling, energy storage, and membrane formation. Cholesterol is biosynthesized through the mevalonate pathway, and aberrant metabolism causes metabolic diseases.

A comparative study of Gaussian Graphical Model approaches for genomic data [PDF]
The inference of networks of dependencies by Gaussian Graphical models on high-throughput data is an open issue in modern molecular biology. In this paper we provide a comparative study of three methods to obtain small sample and high dimension estimates

Controlled sumoylation of the mevalonate pathway enzyme HMGS-1 regulates metabolism during aging [PDF]
Many metabolic pathways are critically regulated during development and aging but little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this regulation. One key metabolic cascade in eukaryotes is the mevalonate pathway.

Activation of Mevalonate Pathway via LKB1 Is Essential for Stability of Treg Cells
Summary: The function of regulatory T (Treg) cells depends on lipid oxidation. However, the molecular mechanism by which Treg cells maintain lipid metabolism after activation remains elusive.

Visualizing the enzyme mechanism of mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase
Mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase (MDD) is a key enzyme in the mevalonate pathway and catalyses the decarboxylation of mevalonate-5-diphosphate to isopentenyl diphosphate.

Mutant-based model of two independent pathways for carotenoid-mediated chloroplast biogenesis in Arabidopsis embryos [PDF]
Chloroplasts are essential for autonomous plant growth, and their biogenesis is a complex process requiring both plastid and nuclear genome. One of the essential factors required for chloroplast biogenesis are carotenoids.
