Ribonuclease Inhibition of Mevalonic Acid Utilization.

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1958
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

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
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.

Combined transcriptome and proteome analysis of Bcfrp1 involved in regulating the biosynthesis of abscisic acid and growth in Botrytis cinerea TB-31

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionAbscisic acid (ABA) is an important sesquiterpene compound that regulates the stress resistance of plants. Botrytis cinerea can synthesize ABA via the mevalonic acid pathway.

Investigations on some metabolites of Tecoma stans Juss. callus tissue. Part II. Chromatographical analysis of alkaloid and quinone compounds

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015
Tecoma stans Juss. callus tissue grown on Murashige-Mei Lie Lin (M-L) and Murashige-Skoog (RT-k) medium supplemented with Tecoma alkaloid precursors like lysine, mevalonic acid lactone and quinolinic acid, were investigated for their alkaloid content by ...

Mevalonic Acid as A Precursor in the Biogenesis of Digitoxigenin

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1960
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

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2006
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‐Dependent CHAF1B Stabilization Regulates Distinct SETDB1 Ubiquitin States Linked to AKT T308 Signaling and Lipogenic Remodeling in HCC

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
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 ...

A deficiency of mixed function oxidase activities in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway of human granulocytes.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1980
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]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1967
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.
