Inhibition of Sterol Biosynthesis in Chlorella sorokiniana by Triparanol.
When Chlorella sorokiniana was cultured in the presence of 1 mg/1 triparanol succinate, there was a 42% reduction in total sterol concentration. Algal biomass was reduced by approximately the same amount. In addition to the cycloartenol, cyclolaudenol, 24-methyl-pollinastanol, ergosta-5, 7-dien-3beta-ol, and ergosterol that occur in control culture, pollinastanol, 14alpha-methyl-5alpha-ergost-8...
متن کاملSIRT2 inhibition achieves neuroprotection by decreasing sterol biosynthesis.
Huntington's disease (HD), an incurable neurodegenerative disorder, has a complex pathogenesis including protein aggregation and the dysregulation of neuronal transcription and metabolism. Here, we demonstrate that inhibition of sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) achieves neuroprotection in cellular and invertebrate models of HD. Genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of SIRT2 in a striatal neuron model of HD resu...
متن کاملInhibition of sterol biosynthesis in animal cells by 14 alpha-alkyl-substituted 15-oxygenated sterols.
Reported herein are the results of investigations of the effects of a number of 14 alpha-alkyl-substituted 15-oxygenated sterols, prepared by chemical synthesis, on sterol biosynthesis and the levels of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase activity in L cells and in primary cultures of fetal mouse liver cells grown in serum-free media. Several of the compounds, most notably 14 alpha-ethyl-5...
متن کاملInborn errors of sterol biosynthesis.
The known disorders of cholesterol biosynthesis have expanded rapidly since the discovery that Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is caused by a deficiency of 7-dehydrocholesterol. Each of the six now recognized sterol disorders-mevalonic aciduria, Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, desmosterolosis, Conradi-Hünermann syndrome, CHILD syndrome, and Greenberg dysplasia-has added to our knowledge of the relations...
متن کاملFarnesol biosynthesis in Candida albicans: cellular response to sterol inhibition by zaragozic acid B.
The dimorphic fungus Candida albicans produces farnesol as a quorum-sensing molecule that regulates cellular morphology. The biosynthetic origin of farnesol has been resolved by treating these cells with zaragozic acid B, a potent inhibitor of squalene synthase in the sterol biosynthetic pathway. Treatment with zaragozic acid B leads to an eightfold increase in the amount of farnesol produced b...
