Abstract excerpt
We have shown that hormone-induced downregulation of luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) in the ovary is post-transcriptionally regulated by an mRNA binding protein. This protein, later identified as mevalonate kinase (MVK), binds to the coding region of LHR mRNA, suppresses its translation, and the resulting ribonucleoprotein complex is targeted for degradation. Mutagenesis and crystallographic studies of rat MVK...
