3'-untranslated sequences mediate post-transcriptional regulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase mRNA by 25-hydroxycholesterol.
In an earlier study [Choi, Lundquist and Peffley (1993) Biochem. J. 296, 859-866], we determined that 25-hydroxycholesterol regulates 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase mRNA through a post-transcriptional mechanism that requires protein synthesis. To investigate whether 3'-untranslated sequences play a role in 25-hydroxycholesterol-mediated post-transcriptional control, we ligat...
متن کاملMolecular mechanism for inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase by rosuvastatin.
The statins are inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase (HMG-CoAR), and are utilized to decrease levels of atherogenic lipoproteins in patients with, or who are at high risk of, cardiovascular disease. This study describes the inhibition of a recombinant, catalytic fragment of human HMG-CoAR by a new statin, rosuvastatin (CRESTOR(R)). Binding is reversible and involves ...
متن کاملPost-transcriptional regulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase mRNA in rat liver. Glucocorticoids block the stabilization caused by thyroid hormones.
Administration of dexamethasone to hypophysectomized rats treated with thyroid hormones blocked the increase in hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase mRNA and enzyme activity which occurred in response to thyroid hormone treatment. The rate of transcription of the rat liver HMG-CoA reductase gene measured by "run-on" assays in isolated nuclei was not diminished by de...
متن کامل3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase deficiency
Deficiency of mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase, the rate-limiting enzyme in hepatic ketogenesis, causes potentially life-threatening hypoglycemic hypoketotic coma during fasting periods. In the normal, nonfasting state, patients are completely asymptomatic and show no abnormalities in standard metabolic tests. As a consequence, diagnosing 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synt...
متن کاملCharacterization and regulation of Leishmania major 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase.
In eukaryotes the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase catalyses the synthesis of mevalonic acid, a common precursor to all isoprenoid compounds. Here we report the isolation and overexpression of the gene coding for HMG-CoA reductase from Leishmania major. The protein from Leishmania lacks the membrane domain characteristic of eukaryotic cells but exhibits sequence similar...
