Abstract excerpt
Phosphomevalonate kinase (PMK) catalyzes a key step in isoprenoid/sterol biosynthesis, converting mevalonate 5-phosphate and ATP to mevalonate 5-diphosphate and ADP. To expedite functional and structural study of this enzyme, an expression plasmid encoding His-tagged human PMK has been constructed and recombinant enzyme isolated in an active, stable form. PMK catalyzes a reversible reaction; kinetic constants of...
