1. Phosphomevalonate kinase and 5-pyrophosphomevalonate decarboxylase have been purified from the freeze-dried latex serum of the commercial rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis. 2. The phosphomevalonate kinase was acid- and heat-labile and required the presence of a thiol to maintain activity. 3.

The mevalonate pathway is known for the synthesis of cholesterol, but recent studies have reported that it also controls Hippo signaling, which is critical for the regulation of organ size and tumorigenesis. Here, we discover that the suppression of the

Phosphomevalonate kinase (PMK) catalyzes phosphoryl transfer from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to mevalonate 5-phosphate (M5P) on the pathway for synthesizing cholesterol and other isoprenoids. To permit this reaction, its substrates must be brought proximal, which would result in a significant and

The galacto-, homoserine-, mevalonate-, phosphomevalonate-kinase (GHMP) superfamily encompases a wide-range of protein function. Three members of the family (mevalonate kinase, phosphomevalonate kinase, and diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase) comprise the mevalonate pathway found in S. pneumoniae and other organisms. We have determined the
