Coordinated carbon metabolite flux between the methyl erythritol phosphate (MEP) and the mevalonate (MVA) pathway regulates the withanolide biosynthesis in Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal

open access: yesDiscover Plants
Withanolides are bioactive triterpenoids that require isoprene units viz., isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) as precursor molecule for their biosynthesis, mediated via two independent routes, the plastidial methyl ...

Mevalonate pathway inhibition reduces bladder cancer metastasis by modulating RhoB protein stability and integrin β1 localization

open access: yesCommunications Biology
The progression and outcome of bladder cancer (BLCA) are critically affected by the propensity of tumor metastasis. Our previous study revealed that activation of the mevalonate (MVA) pathway promoted migration of BLCA cells; however, the exact mechanism

Therapeutic Poxviruses Induce the Secretion of Immunostimulating and Anti-Tumoral Extracellular Vesicles. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Extracell Vesicles
Immune cells infected by therapeutic poxviruses release increased amounts of extracellular vesicles bearing viral proteins and therapeutic payloads. Such EVs have the ability to activate a CD8+ T‐cell mediated antitumoral immune response and decrease tumor growth.

Diversity of cell death signaling pathways in macrophages upon infection with modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death & Disease, 2021
AbstractRegulated cell death frequently occurs upon infection by intracellular pathogens, and extent and regulation is often cell-type-specific. We aimed to identify the cell death-signaling pathways triggered in macrophages by infection with modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA), an attenuated strain of vaccinia virus used in vaccination.

A novel MVA-mediated pathway for isoprene production in engineered E. coli [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Biotechnology, 2016
To deal with the increasingly severe energy crisis and environmental consequences, biofuels and biochemicals generated from renewable resources could serve as a promising alternative for replacing petroleum as a source of fuel and chemicals, among which isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) in particular is of great significance in that it is an important ...

Isoprenoid biosynthesis regulation in poplars by methylerythritol phosphate and mevalonic acid pathways

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
It is critical to develop plant isoprenoid production when dealing with human-demanded industries such as flavoring, aroma, pigment, pharmaceuticals, and biomass used for biofuels.

Biosynthesis of β-carotene in engineered E. coli using the MEP and MVA pathways [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobial Cell Factories, 2014
β-carotene is a carotenoid compound that has been widely used not only in the industrial production of pharmaceuticals but also as nutraceuticals, animal feed additives, functional cosmetics, and food colorants. Currently, more than 90% of commercial β-carotene is produced by chemical synthesis.

Loss of ULK1 Attenuates Cholesterogenic Gene Expression in Mammalian Hepatic Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
The hepatic mevalonate (MVA) pathway, responsible for cholesterol biosynthesis, is a therapeutically important metabolic pathway in clinical medicine. Using an unbiased transcriptomics approach, we uncover a novel role of Unc-51 like autophagy activating
