Isoprenoid enzyme systems of silkworm. I. Partial purification of isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase, farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase, and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthetase.
Isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase, farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase, and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthetase were detected in cell-free extracts of Bombyx mori and were partially purified by hydroxyapatite and Sephadex G-100 chromatography. Two forms of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase were chromatographically separated. They were designated as farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetases I and I...
متن کاملIdentification and regulation of a rat liver cDNA encoding farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase.
CR39 is a cholesterol-repressible rat liver cDNA previously isolated by differential hybridization (Clarke, C.F., Tanaka, R.D., Svenson, K., Wamsley, M., Fogelman, A.M., and Edwards, P.A. (1987) Mol. Cell. Biol. 7, 3138-3146). To precisely identify the function of CR39 a fusion protein was constructed that contained the amino-terminal region of the bacterial protein anthranilate synthetase fuse...
متن کاملFarnesyl pyrophosphate regulates adipocyte functions as an endogenous PPARγ agonist
The cholesterol biosynthetic pathway produces not only sterols but also non-sterol mevalonate metabolites involved in isoprenoid synthesis. Mevalonate metabolites affect transcriptional and post-transcriptional events that in turn affect various biological processes including energy metabolism. In the present study, we examine whether mevalonate metabolites activate PPARγ (peroxisome-proliferat...
متن کاملStructural characterization of substrate and inhibitor binding to farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Locus PA4043 in the genome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 has been annotated as coding for a farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS). This open reading frame was cloned and expressed recombinantly in Escherichia coli. The dimeric enzyme shows farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase activity and is strongly inhibited by ibandronate and zoledronate, drugs that are presently in clinical use. The structures...
متن کاملBisphosphonates are potent inhibitors of Trypanosoma cruzi farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase.
We report the cloning and sequencing of a gene encoding the farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase of Trypanosoma cruzi. The protein (T. cruzi farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, TcFPPS) is an attractive target for drug development, since the growth of T. cruzi is inhibited by carbocation transition state/reactive intermediate analogs of its substrates, the nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates currently i...
