Structure-Function Analysis of Enzymes of the Polyisoprenyl-Phosphate Hexose-1-Phosphate Transferase family [PDF]

open access: green, 2011
Enzymes of the polyisoprenyl-phosphate hexose-1-phosphate transferase (PHPT) family are integral membrane proteins that initiate the synthesis of glycans by catalyzing the transfer of a hexose-1-phosphate sugar from UDP-hexose to the lipid carrier undecaprenyl phosphate (Und-P).

Killing Me Softly: Connotations to Unfolded Protein Response and Oxidative Stress in Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]

open access: yesOxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
This review is focused on the possible causes of mitochondrial dysfunction in AD, underlying molecular mechanisms of this malfunction, possible causes and known consequences of APP, Aβ, and hyperphosphorylated tau presence in mitochondria, and the contribution of altered lipid metabolism (nonsterol isoprenoids) to pathological processes leading to ...

Determination of the anomeric configuration of glycosyl esters of nucleoside pyrophosphates and polyisoprenyl phosphates by fast-atom bombardment tandem mass spectrometry [PDF]

open access: closedJournal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 1996
Collision-induced dissociation of the deprotonated molecules of glycosyl esters of nucleoside pyrophosphates and polyisoprenyl (dolichyl and polyprenyl) phosphates results in distinct fragmentation patterns that depend on cis-trans configuration of the phosphodiester and 2″ (or 2', respectively)-hydroxyl groups of the glycosyl residue. At the collision-

Structure-Function Analysis of UDP-Sugar: Polyisoprenyl Phosphate Sugar-1-Phosphate Transferases [PDF]

open access: closed, 2013
The synthesis of lipid-linked glycans is a conserved process in eukaryotes and prokaryotes that is initiated by two major enzyme families: the polyisoprenyl-phosphate hexose-1-phosphate transferases (PHPTs) and the polyisoprenyl-phosphate N-acetylaminosugar-1-phosphate transferases (PNPTs). These enzymes contain multiple membrane domains and transfer a

Mouse phospholipid phosphatase 6 regulates dendritic cell cholesterol, macropinocytosis, and allergen sensitization

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: Lipid phosphate phosphatases are a family of enzymes with diverse cellular metabolic functions. Phospholipid phosphatase 6 (PLPP6) is a regulator of cellular polyisoprenyl phosphates; however, its in vivo functions remain to be determined. Here,

The two‐component system CroRS acts as a master regulator of cell envelope homeostasis to confer antimicrobial tolerance in the bacterial pathogen Enterococcus faecalis

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, Volume 120, Issue 3, Page 408-424, September 2023., 2023
In Enterococcus faecalis, CroRS regulates the expression of cell envelope biosynthesis pathways to maintain homeostasis and confer tolerance upon antimicrobial challenge. Loss of function mutations in the respiratory branch of the isoprenoid pathway appears to rescue tolerance in a croRS deletion mutant.

New insights into natural rubber biosynthesis from rubber‐deficient lettuce mutants expressing goldenrod or guayule cis‐prenyltransferase

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 239, Issue 3, Page 1098-1111, August 2023., 2023
Summary Lettuce produces natural rubber (NR) with an average Mw of > 1 million Da in laticifers, similar to NR from rubber trees. As lettuce is an annual, self‐pollinating, and easily transformable plant, it is an excellent model for molecular genetic studies of NR biosynthesis.

Decoration of Squalenoyl‐Gemcitabine Nanoparticles with Squalenyl‐Hydroxybisphosphonate for the Treatment of Bone Tumors

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 16, Issue 24, Page 3730-3738, December 14, 2021., 2021
Precision nanomedicines can improve osteosarcoma treatments by enhancing the action of cytostatic agents through selective targeting to the bone tumor area. HbisP−Sq, a lipid molecule with high affinity for calcium ions present in HA has been successfully synthetized.
