assay method development: the eukaryotic enzyme HMGR catalyzes the stereospecific NADPH-dependent reductive deacylation of (3S)-HMG-CoA to (3R)-mevalonic acid. The HMGR assay reaction product is subsequently converted to mevalonolactone by heating in acid medium. The heat treatment also hydrolyses (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA to free hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid and CoASH, analysis by TLC
concomitant reduction of both HMGR activity and the sterol content by depletion of the sphingolipid pathway. At 0.01 mM myriocin decrease to ca. 55% of the HMGR activity in control plants. Myriocin-induced down-regulation of HMGR activity is exerted at the post-translational level, like the regulatory response of HMGR to enhancement or depletion of the flux through the sterol pathway
whether plants are grown with mevalonate from the beginning or only during the last 9 days, HMGR activity is drastically reduced to 25% of the activity in plants grown in the absence of mevalonate. Plants grown without mevalonate during the last 9 days show a severe, though less pronounced, reduction in HMGR activity, which decreases to 60% of the activity in control plants. Significant reduction of HMGR activity does not correlate with changes in both the expression of HMG1 and HMG2 genes and the amount of HMGR protein
leads to a significant concentration-dependent activation of HMGR of ca. 3fold the activity in untreated plants. Maximal HMGR activation at 0.06 mM squalestatin. No relevant changes in the level of expression of the HMG genes or in the amount of HMGR protein

localized predominantly within spherical vesicular structures that range from 0.0002-0.0006 mm in diameter, located in the cytoplasm and within the central vacuole in differentiated cotyledon cells. The N-terminal region, including the transmembrane domain of HMGR, is found to be necessary and sufficient for directing HMGR to the endoplasmic reticulum and the spherical structures
the enzyme spans the endoplasmic reticulum membrane twice. Both the N-terminal region and the highly conserved catalytic domain are in the cytosol, whereas only a short stretch of the protein is in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Insertion in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane is mediated by the signal recognition particle (SRP) that recognizes the two hydrophobic sequences which will become membrane spanning segments
not only the sequence of the catalytic domain of enzyme HMGR but also its quaternary structure is conserved in high eukaryotes. HMGR is encoded by a multigene family
HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) catalyzes the first committed step of the mevalonate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis, consisting in the NADPH-mediated reductive deacylation of HMG-CoA to mevalonic acid. The enzyme exerts a key regulatory role on the flux of the mevalonate pathway in all eukaryotes
in plants, the enzyme is critical not only for normal growth and development but also for the adaptation to diverse challenging conditions. Plant HMGR is controlled at transcriptional and posttranslational levels in response to many developmental and environmental signals such as phytohormones, calcium, calmodulin, light, wounding, elicitor treatment, and pathogen attack. Protein degradation, inhibition, or activation by calcium, and phosphorylation at a conserved site of the catalytic domain are mechanisms by which plant HMGR is posttranslationally modulated. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is both a transcriptional and a posttranslational regulator of HMGR in Arabidopsis thaliana
protein degradation, inhibition, or activation by calcium, and phosphorylation at a conserved site of the catalytic domain are mechanisms by which plant enzyme HMGR is posttranslationally modulated
construction of insertion mutants of the 2 isozymes leads to loss of enzyme function, the hmg1 mutant plants show an altered phenotype with dwarfing, early senescence, male sterility, and both mutants of hmg1 and hmg2 show reduced sterol levels, the mutants are more sensitive to the inhibitor lovastatin and squalestatin, overview
transgenic expression of the N-terminal truncated 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase from Arabidopsis thaliana in Lavandula latifolia plants enhances production of essential oils and sterols in the different lines of transgenic plants, expression of HMGR1S also increases the amount of the end-product sterols beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol by 1.8fold and 1.9fold, respectively, but does not affect the accumulation of carotenoids or chlorophylls, overview

the catalytic activity of plant HMGR depends on free thiol groups and a reducing agent is used to protect their reduced state. DTT is better than 2-mercaptoethanol or glutathione for this purpose
