Inhibition of the class II HMG-CoA reductase of Pseudomonas mevaloniiMatija Hedl
Department of Biochemistry, Purdue University, 175 South University Street, West Lafayette, IN 47907 2063, USA
Protein Sci 13:1693-7. 2004....
Enterococcus faecalis 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A synthase, an enzyme of isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthesisAutumn Sutherlin
Department of Biochemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907-1153, USA
J Bacteriol 184:4065-70. 2002..60 +/- 0.02. The K(m) for the hydrolysis of acetyl-CoA was 10 microM. Coupled conversion of acetyl-CoA to mevalonate was demonstrated by using HMG-CoA synthase and acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase/HMG-CoA reductase from E. faecalis...
Multienzyme mevalonate pathway bioreactorAutumn Sutherlin
Department of Biochemistry, Purdue University, 175 South University Street, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907-2063, USA
Biotechnol Bioeng 87:546-51. 2004..Finally, linking a Ni(++) affinity support bioreactor to an HPLC-mass spectrometer would provide an experimental and pedagogical tool for study of metabolite flux and pool sizes of intermediates to model regulation in intact cells...
X-ray crystal structures of HMG-CoA synthase from Enterococcus faecalis and a complex with its second substrate/inhibitor acetoacetyl-CoAC Nicklaus Steussy
Department of Biological Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907, USA
Biochemistry 44:14256-67. 2005..This is consistent with the kinetics of the reaction that have shown acetoacetyl-CoA to be a potent inhibitor of the overall reaction, and provides a starting point in the search for a small molecule inhibitor...
Enterococcus faecalis mevalonate kinaseMatija Hedl
Department of Biochemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907-2063, USA
Protein Sci 13:687-93. 2004..1 mM (ATP), and 3.3 mM (Mg(2+)). Unlike mammalian mevalonate kinases, E. faecalis mevalonate kinase utilized all tested nucleoside triphosphates as phosphoryl donors. ADP, but not AMP, inhibited the reaction with a K(i) of 2.7 mM...
A structural limitation on enzyme activity: the case of HMG-CoA synthaseCalvin N Steussy
Department of Biological Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907, USA
Biochemistry 45:14407-14. 2006..In addition, the hydroxyl of Ser308 rotates 120 degrees to a position where it is able to stabilize the carbanion intermediate formed by the methyl group of the acetyl-S-enzyme during its condensation with acetoacetyl-CoA...
Class II 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductasesMatija Hedl
Department of Biochemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907, USA
J Bacteriol 186:1927-32. 2004
Enterococcus faecalis phosphomevalonate kinaseStephanie S Doun
Department of Biochemistry, Purdue University, 175 South University Street, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907-2063, USA
Protein Sci 14:1134-9. 2005..The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 3.9 micromol substrate converted per minute per milligram protein. Applications to an immobilized enzyme bioreactor and to drug screening and design are discussed...
Enterococcus faecalis acetoacetyl-coenzyme A thiolase/3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, a dual-function protein of isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthesisMatija Hedl
Department of Biochemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907-1153, USA
J Bacteriol 184:2116-22. 2002..Sequence comparisons with other HMG-CoA reductases suggest that the essential active-site histidine is His756. The mvaE gene product represents the first example of an HMG-CoA reductase fused to another enzyme...
Crystal structure of a statin bound to a class II hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductaseLydia Tabernero
School of Biological Sciences, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, United Kingdom
J Biol Chem 278:19933-8. 2003..We suggest that these differences might be exploited to develop selective class II inhibitors for use as antibacterial agents against pathogenic microorganisms...
The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme-A (HMG-CoA) reductasesJon A Friesen
Department of Chemistry, Illinois State University, Normal, IL 61790 4160, USA
Genome Biol 5:248. 2004..Probably because of its critical role in cellular cholesterol homeostasis, mammalian HMG-CoA reductase is extensively regulated at the transcriptional, translational, and post-translational levels...
