Ribonuclease Inhibition of Mevalonic Acid Utilization.
SummaryUtilization of mevalonic acid as determined by incorporation of the 2-C14-labeled compound into non-saponifiable material or into cholesterol or by disappearance of microbiological activity attributable to mevalonic acid in rat liver homogenates was found to be abolished by a preliminary digestion with ribonuclease.

Group IVC cytosolic phospholipase A2γ is farnesylated and palmitoylated in mammalian cells
Cytosolic phospholipase A2γ (cPLA2γ) is a member of the group IV family of intracellular phospholipase A2 enzymes, but unlike the well-studied cPLA2α, it is constitutively bound to membrane and is calcium independent.

Mevalonic Acid as A Precursor in the Biogenesis of Digitoxigenin
Abstract (±)-Mevalonic acid-2-14C has been injected into a growing plant of Digitalis lanata L. to test if this acid serves as a precursor in the biosynthesis of cardenolides. After nine days a portion of the leaves was extracted and the constituents submitted to paper chromatography followed by autoradiography.

Mevalonate kinase deficiencies: from mevalonic aciduria to hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome
Mevalonic aciduria (MVA) and hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome (HIDS) represent the two ends of a clinical spectrum of disease caused by deficiency of mevalonate kinase (MVK), the first committed enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis.

USP4 stabilizes CHAF1B by limiting K48‐linked ubiquitination. Stabilized CHAF1B supports UHRF1‐associated K63‐linked SETDB1 ubiquitination and cytoplasmic redistribution, whereas CHAF1B loss favors VHL‐dependent K11‐associated degradative ubiquitination and proteasomal loss of SETDB1.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis and Long COVID susceptibility in chronic kidney disease
This study investigated gut microbiota dysbiosis and its association with Long COVID susceptibility in 224 hemodialysis patients. We found that 35.3% of patients developed Long COVID, characterized by neurological symptoms and elevated inflammatory markers, accompanied by significant gut microbiota alterations including enriched proinflammatory taxa ...

Highly purified human granulocytes synthesize [14C]farnesol and [14C]squalene but not [14C]sterols from [14C]mevalonic acid. Dimethylsulfoxide was found to be an excellent vehicle for carrying [3H]squalene-2, 3-oxide into the intact cells.

Mevalonic Acid Kinase in Euglena gracilis [PDF]
The isolation and partial purification of mevalonic acid kinase from Euglena gracilis is described. The product of the reaction MVA-5-P has been characterized by paper chromatography. The apparent Km values for l-mevalonic acid, ATP, and Mg(2+) are 3 x 10(-5)m, 6 x 10(-3)m, and 9 x 10(-3)m, respectively.
