The localization, partial purification and regulation of pea plastid HMG-CoA reductase.

Abstract:

:HMG-CoA reductase was located to the envelope membranes of pea etioplasts, the first report of the suborganelle localization of this key enzyme in isoprenoid synthesis. The enzyme was purified 156 fold from isolated envelope membranes. Purification was achieved by detergent solubilization, hydroxylapatite chromatography and glycerol gradient centrifugation. Membrane-bound etioplast HMG-CoA reductase was activated 4 to 5 fold by high concentrations of inorganic phosphate, this activation was prevented by arsenate, a structural analog of phosphate.

  • Secreted proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 reduces both hepatic and extrahepatic low-density lipoprotein receptors in vivo.

    abstract::Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a serine protease that is known to reduce hepatic low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) levels and increase plasma LDL cholesterol. It is not clear, however, whether secreted PCSK9 degrades extrahepatic LDLRs. We present evidence that recombinant PCSK9, either...
