Beyond the Mevalonate Pathway: Control of Post-Prenylation Processing by Mutant p53

Frontiers in Oncology, 2020
Missense mutations in the TP53 gene are among the most frequent alterations in human cancer. Consequently, many tumors show high expression of p53 point mutants, which may acquire novel activities that contribute to develop aggressive tumors.

Statin therapy in critical illness : an international survey of intensive care physicians' opinions, attitudes and practice [PDF]

, 2012
Background Pleotropic effects of statins on inflammation are hypothesised to attenuate the severity of and possibly prevent the occurrence of the host inflammatory response to pathogen and infection-related acute organ failure.

Diatoms synthesize sterols by inclusion of animal and fungal genes in the plant pathway [PDF]

, 2020
Diatoms are ubiquitous microalgae that have developed remarkable metabolic plasticity and gene diversification. Here we report the first elucidation of the complete biosynthesis of sterols in the lineage.

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

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, EarlyView.
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 ...

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

Integrated genomic and transcriptomic approaches reveal oxidative stress adaptation mechanisms in a mesotrione‐resistant Amaranthus tuberculatus biotype

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Integrated GWAS and transcriptomics in a Canadian waterhemp biotype reveal mesotrione resistance is polygenic and metabolically driven. Significant SNPs and 187 herbicide‐responsive genes point to enhanced redox homeostasis, glutathione‐linked detoxification, lipid/secondary metabolism, and oxidative stress responses. Resistance arises from coordinated,

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 ...

The Emerging Role of Disturbed CoQ Metabolism in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Development and Progression [PDF]

, 2015
Although non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), characterised by the accumulation of triacylglycerol in the liver, is the most common liver disorder, the causes of its development and progression to the more serious non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ...

Root exudates mediate microorganisms to improve rhizosphere nutrient availability and crop productivity under straw mulching and slow‐release nitrogen fertilizer

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root exudates play a key role as signals and nutrients in mediating plant–microbe communication. However, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding how root exudates mediate soil–microbe–plant interactions to regulate crop yield under long‐term straw mulching combined ...

Synthesis of analogues of (E)-1-hydroxy-2-methylbut-2-enyl 4-diphosphate, an isoprenoid precursor and human γδ T cell activator [PDF]

, 2008
(E)-1-Hydroxy-2-methyl-but-2-enyl 4-diphosphate (HMBPP) is an intermediate in the non-mevalonate pathway for the biosynthesis of isoprenoids and also serves as a very strong activator of human gamma delta T cells expressing V gamma 9V delta 2 receptors ...
