  • Title: The effect of mevinolin on cytosolic acetoacetyl coenzyme a thiolase activity in Chinese hamster ovary fibroblasts.
    Author: Schnitzer-Polokoff R.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1986 Jul 31; 138(2):953-9. PubMed ID: 2874807.
    Abstract:
    The effects of mevinolin on cytosolic acetoacetyl CoA thiolase activity were studied in wild type Chinese hamster ovary fibroblasts and in CHO cells adapted to growth in high levels of mevinolin. Acetoacetyl CoA thiolase, HMG CoA synthase and HMG CoA reductase activities were elevated in the mevinolin resistant line, KH 2.0. Thiolase activity was also increased when wild type cells were incubated for 5 days with 1 micron mevinolin. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the regulation of the first three enzymes in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway is mediated at least in part via a common mechanism.
