Prenylation inhibitors stimulate both estrogen receptor α transcriptional activity through AF-1 and AF-2 and estrogen receptor β transcriptional activity [PDF]

, 2005
INTRODUCTION: We showed in a previous study that prenylated proteins play a role in estradiol stimulation of proliferation. However, these proteins antagonize the ability of estrogen receptor (ER) alpha to stimulate estrogen response element (ERE ...

Deciphering the properties and reaction mechanism of anhydromevalonate phosphate decarboxylase, a prenylated flavin mononucleotide‐dependent enzyme in the archaeal mevalonate pathway

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Characterization of anhydromevalonate phosphate decarboxylase, the UbiD‐family decarboxylase involved in the archaeal mevalonate pathway, was conducted. The enzyme is responsible for the biosynthesis of isoprenoids, such as archaeal membrane lipids, respiratory quinones, and dolichols.

Effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein, lipid mediators and statins on vascular cell interactions [PDF]

, 1999
The integrin heterodimer CD11b/CD18 (alpha M beta 2, Mac-1, CR3) expressed on monocytes or polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) is a receptor for iC3b, fibrinogen, heparin, and for intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 on endothelium, crucially ...

The tryptophan prenyltransferase ComQ from Bacillus subtilis 168 can prenylate daptomycin at Trp1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
ComQ168 from Bacillus subtilis 168 catalyzes C‐terminal tryptophan farnesylation of ComX to generate a competence‐inducing pheromone. Recombinant ComQ168 also modifies cyclic peptides, including Daptomycin, likely at the N‐terminal tryptophan. Structural modeling highlights a C‐terminal binding region, supporting substrate promiscuity and establishing ...

Cholesterol 24S-Hydroxylase overexpression inhibits the liver X receptor (LXR) pathway by activating small guanosine triphosphate-binding proteins (sGTPases) in neuronal cells [PDF]

, 2014
The neuronal-specific cholesterol 24S-hydroxylase (CYP46A1) is important for brain cholesterol elimination. Cyp46a1 null mice exhibit severe deficiencies in learning and hippocampal long-term potentiation, suggested to be caused by a decrease in ...

Shigella Effector VirA Suppresses Plant Immunity by Compromising PRA1.F3‐Dependent Accumulation of FLS2 at the Plasma Membrane

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surface immune receptors such as flagellin‐sensitive 2 (FLS2) are critical for plant defence, and their accumulation at the plasma membrane is tightly controlled by the endomembrane system. Here, we identify the Arabidopsis thaliana prenylated Rab acceptor PRA1.F3 as a positive regulator required for efficient accumulation of FLS2 at the ...

Incidence and Risk Factors of Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw in Multiple Myeloma Patients Having Undergone Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a severe complication of bisphosphonate therapy. Due to their long survival and subsequently high cumulative doses of bisphosphonates, multiple myeloma patients have the highest risk ...
