Glutamine sensing licenses cholesterol synthesis

The EMBO Journal
The mevalonate pathway produces essential lipid metabolites such as cholesterol. Although this pathway is negatively regulated by metabolic intermediates, little is known of the metabolites that positively regulate its activity.

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.

Rewiring nutrition: Chemical insights into the physiological and microbiological roles of food's microconstituents

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Bidirectional interactions between food‐derived sensory compounds, gut sensing and microbiota, host physiological feedback, and metabolite production within the food matrix collectively shape sensory perception, microbial dynamics, and metabolic health.

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

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Engineering Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 for mevalonate production from lignin-derived aromatic compounds

Metabolic Engineering Communications, 2021
Utilization of lignin, an abundant renewable resource, is limited by its heterogenous composition and complex structure. Biological valorization of lignin provides advantages over traditional chemical processing as it occurs at ambient temperature and ...

Gut microbiome in pediatric acute pancreatitis and Crohn's disease versus irritable bowel syndrome and healthy controls

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Pediatric acute pancreatitis (AP), Crohn's disease (CD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are associated with gut dysbiosis, but differences and similarities between conditions are unknown. We hypothesized that gut microbial ecology would differ across these disorders. Methods Stool was collected from 120 subjects (AP [n = 30], CD

Inhibition of the mevalonate pathway improves myocardial fibrosis

Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2021
The mevalonate (MVA) pathway serves an important role in ventricular remodeling. Targeting the MVA pathway has protective effects against myocardial fibrosis. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism behind these effects. Primary cultured cardiac fibroblasts from C57BL/6 mice were treated in vitro in 5 groups: i) negative control; ii ...

The genetic landscape of congenital diarrheas and very early onset inflammatory bowel disease in the Middle East

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Monogenic causes of congenital diarrheas and enteropathies (CoDE) and very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEOIBD) are mostly recessive and therefore more prevalent in populations with increased consanguinity rates. To assess the genetic basis of these disorders in a likely high‐prevalence population, we established a multi ...

Comprehensive elucidation of volatile, phenolic, and organic acid profiles in Turkish mallow (Malva sylvestris L.) petal herbal tea: impact of diverse brewing conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Mallow (Malva sylvestris L.) petals are traditionally consumed as herbal tea across the Mediterranean for their soothing and anti‐inflammatory properties; however, scientific characterization of this consumption‐relevant matrix under realistic brewing conditions remains scarce.
