Regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis in enucleated cells.
In cells that had been physically enucleated after treatment with cytochalasin B (cytoplasts) levels of cholesterol synthesis and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase activity were nearly constant over a 6-h period of time. The ratio of the inactive to the active form of the reductase was unaltered by enucleation and did not change when the cytoplasts were incubated at 37%. The addit...
متن کاملThe role of oxysterols in the regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis.
Most mammalian cells are able to satisfy their requirements for cholesterol from either external (lipoprotein) or internal (biosynthetic) sources. Although the rate of cellular cholesterol biosynthesis appears to bear an inverse relationship to the availability of external lipoprotein cholesterol, the exact nature of the regulatory molecule(s) remains to be unequivocally established. Several ox...
متن کاملCholesterol Biosynthesis and Homeostasis in Regulation of the Cell Cycle
The cell cycle is a ubiquitous, multi-step process that is essential for growth and proliferation of cells. The role of membrane lipids in cell cycle regulation is not explored well, although a large number of cytoplasmic and nuclear regulators have been identified. We focus in this work on the role of membrane cholesterol in cell cycle regulation. In particular, we have explored the stringency...
متن کاملRegulation of isoprenoid/cholesterol biosynthesis in cells from mevalonate kinase-deficient patients.
Mevalonic aciduria (MA) and hyper-IgD and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS) are two inherited disorders both caused by depressed mevalonate kinase (MK) activity. MK is the first enzyme to follow the highly regulated 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase (HMGR), which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the isoprenoid/cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. In fibroblasts of MA patients, but not...
متن کاملFeedback regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis: studies with cholestyramine.
Regulation of hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis is thought to occur at the step involving formation of mevalonate from 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA); this reaction is catalyzed by HMG-CoA reductase. Oral administration of cholestyramine, an agent that interferes with cholesterol reabsorption and is associated with a compensatory increase in hepatic cholesterol synthesis, was us...
