Probing cataractogenesis associated with mevalonic aciduria

open access: yes, 1998
Purpose. Mevalonic aciduria in humans results from a genetic deficiency of mevalonate kinase and is characterized by very high plasma mevalonic acid levels, developmental malformations and cataracts.

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 ...

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.

Immunological Interactions Between Gammadelta T Cells and West Nile Virus in the Infected Host

open access: yesReviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Between mosquitoes and birds, West Nile virus (WNV) is a neurotropic flavivirus, an arthropod‐borne pathogen involved in an enzootic cycle. Additionally, it can infect both people and horses, leading to severe illness. Since 1999, WNV has spread across North and South America, including Mexico and the Caribbean.

Diastereoselective and enantioselective preparation of nor-mevaldic acid surrogates through desymmetrisation methodology. Enantioselective synthesis of (+) and (-) nor-mevalonic lactones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Solvent-free desymmetrisation of a meso-dialdehyde with chiral alcohols, led to preparation of 4-silyloxy-6-alkyloxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one derivatives with a 96% de.

Targeting of Staphyloxanthin and α‐Hemolysin by Natural Compound L‐Malic Acid Suppresses Staphylococcus aureus Virulence

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
L‐malic acid, a natural TCA cycle intermediate, attenuates the virulence of Staphylococcus aureus through dual metabolic and regulatory mechanisms. It redirects central carbon flux away from the mevalonate pathway and inhibits the key enzyme CrtO, suppressing staphyloxanthin biosynthesis and impairing bacterial resistance to oxidative stress ...

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.

Constitutive and inducible oleoresin defenses share genetic architectures and mechanisms in Pinus taeda

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2966-2987, June 2026.
Summary The oleoresin defense system of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) protects trees from insects and pathogens and is an important source of renewable biofuels and chemicals, but the genetic basis of oleoresin production is poorly understood. We characterized the genetic architecture of oleoresin flow, resin canal number, stem wood terpene content, and ...

Diverse genetic error modes constrain large-scale bio-based production

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
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.
