Abstract

This brief review summarizes the current literature on the regulation of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) in plants. The mevalonate pathway, which starts with the synthesis of mevalonate by HMGR, has more branch pathways in plants than in most other organisms, leading to a tremendous variety of isoprenoid products. Evidence suggests that HMGR is an important control point for the synthesis of many of these plant isoprenoids, including some that are vital for primary metabolism and pest resistance. Plant HMGR activity responds in vivo to a variety of developmental and environmental signals, such as cell division, light, and infection. Plants regulate HMGR activity at the level of mRNA by differential induction of HMGR gene family members, and posttranslationally by enzyme modification. Calcium, calmodulin, and proteolytic degradation may also have a role in regulation of plant HMGR.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
