| Abstract | It has been previously demonstrated that the enzymic activity of rat liver 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase; EC 1.1.1.34) is modulated in vitro and in vivo by a bicyclic cascade system involving reversible phosphorylation of HMG-CoA reductase and reductase kinase. In the present study, administration of mevalonolactone to rats caused a rapid inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase activity. The initial short-term (20-min) reversible inhibition (38%) of enzyme activity was due to increased phosphorylation of HMG-CoA reductase. The inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase activity by increased phosphorylation was associated with an increased activity and phosphorylation (2- to 3-fold) of reductase kinase. The increased phosphorylation of reductase kinase was catalyzed by reductase kinase kinase, which was significantly elevated (3- to 4-fold) after the administration of mevalonolactone to rats. The mechanism for the in vivo activation of reductase kinase kinase is as yet unknown. Mevalonolactone administration was also associated with a significant inhibition of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity, which dephosphorylates both HMG-CoA reductase (activation) and reductase kinase (inactivation). These results indicate that mevalonolactone administration to rats in vivo was associated with an inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase activity by two mechanisms: (i) an increase in the degree of phosphorylation of both HMG-CoA reductase and reductase kinase due to increased activity of reductase kinase kinase; (ii) a decrease in the dephosphorylation of both HMG-CoA reductase and reductase kinase secondary to inhibition of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity. These combined effects favor an increase in the steady-state level of the phosphorylated forms of both HMG-CoA reductase and reductase kinase, resulting in a net reduction in the enzymic activity of HMG-CoA reductase and mevalonate formation. These results demonstrate that the activity of reductase kinase kinase is modulated in vivo, providing a mechanism for the regulation of the activities of both reductase kinase and HMG-CoA reductase. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
