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.

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.

Diverse genetic error modes constrain large-scale bio-based production
The declining performance of scale-up bioreactor cultures is commonly attributed to phenotypic and physical heterogeneities. Here, the authors reveal multiple recurring intra-pathway error modes that limit engineered E.
