Squalene Inhibits ATM-Dependent Signaling in γIR-Induced DNA Damage Response through Induction of Wip1 Phosphatase. [PDF]
Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase plays a crucial role as a master controller in the cellular DNA damage response. Inhibition of ATM leads to inhibition of the checkpoint signaling pathway.

Integrated Experimental, Chemometric, and In Silico Analyses of Larvicidal Supercritical Extracts From Myrtaceae Species Against Aedes aegypti. [PDF]
The cross‐validated regression tree showed modest predictive performance. Mortality was not significantly associated with the first two PCA axes. Molecular modeling generated testable ligand–target hypotheses. Psidium cattleianum had lower LD50. The larvicidal activity of the crude extracts could not be attributed to individual constituents.

Squalene-Hopene Cyclases [PDF]
ABSTRACTHopanoids and sterols are members of a large group of cyclic triterpenoic compounds that have important functions in many prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. They are biochemically synthesized from linear precursors (squalene, 2,3-oxidosqualene) in only one enzymatic step that is catalyzed by squalene-hopene cyclase (SHC) or oxidosqualene ...

Genome-Wide Identification and Structural Characterization of Secondary Metabolite Biosynthetic Gene Clusters in African Baobab (Adansonia digitata). [PDF]
Genome‐wide computational analysis of the African baobab (Adansonia digitata) identifies 50 candidate biosynthetic gene clusters spanning terpene, polyketide, cyclopeptide, and lignan pathways, including nine BURP‐domain clusters linked to putative chemical defense.

Production of squalene by squalene synthases and their truncated mutants in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Squalene is a precursor of thousands of bioactive triterpenoids and also has industrial value as a lubricant, health-promoting agent, and/or drop-in biofuel. To establish an efficient Escherichia coli-based system for squalene production, we tested two different squalene synthases and their mutants in combination with precursor pathways.
