Disease relevance of PMVK

 

High impact information on PMVK

  • Phosphomevalonate kinase catalyzes an essential step in the so-called mevalonate pathway, which appears to be the sole pathway for the biosynthesis of sterols and other isoprenoids in mammals and archea [1].
  • Analysis of transcripts from human lymphoblasts subcultured in lipid-depleted sera (LDS) and LDS supplemented with lovastatin indicated that PMKase gene expression is subject to regulation by sterol at the level of transcription [4].
  • Southern blotting indicated that PMKase is a single copy gene covering less than 15 kb in the human genome [4].
  • The human PMKase amino acid sequence contains a consensus peroxisomal targeting sequence (PTS-1), Ser-Arg-Leu, at the C terminus of the protein [4].
  • PMK catalyzes a reversible reaction; kinetic constants of human PMK have been determined for both forward (formation of mevalonate 5-diphosphate) and reverse (formation of mevalonate 5-phosphate) reactions [5].
