Recombinant Human Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FDPS)

1. Farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) allosterically regulated the activity of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase. PMID: 28098152
2. FPPS mediates TGF-beta1-induced lung cancer cell invasion and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition via the RhoA/Rock1 pathway. PMID: 29337059
3. Crystallographic and thermodynamic characterization of phenylaminopyridine bisphosphonates binding to human farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase PMID: 29036218
4. These results are consistent with the previously proposed hypothesis that the allosteric pocket of human FPPS, located near the active site, plays a feed-back regulatory role for this enzyme. PMID: 25630225
5. our study indicated that DR patients have higher VEGF levels than diabetic patients without retinopathy, and -2578A/C (rs699947) and +405C/G (rs2010963) may be important factors in determining serum VEGF levels. PMID: 24534219
6. Results suggest that polymorphisms of the FDPS gene may influence the bone response to drugs targeting the mevalonate pathway, like statins. PMID: 24311107
7. A co-crystal structure of human farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase in complex with a bisphosphonate and two molecules of inorganic phosphate. PMID: 24598914
8. The results identify new classes of FPPS inhibitors, diterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids, that bind to the IPP site and may be of interest as anticancer and antiinfective drug leads. PMID: 24927548
9. These observations suggest that an increase in the expression of endogenous FPPS could confer at least partial resistance to the pharmacological effect of N-BP drugs such as ZOL in vivo PMID: 24369118
10. LRP5 and FDPS loci age-specifically affect skeletal traits in healthy fertile women. PMID: 23238007
11. Data indicate compounds represent a new structural class of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (hFPPS) inhibitors and suggest a development of therapeutics. PMID: 23998921
12. The iPA-driven modulation of FDPS can cause an enhancement of post-translational prenylation essential for the biological activity of key proteins in NK signaling and effector functions, such as Ras. PMID: 23847096
13. FPPS was more highly expressed in prostate cancer vs. normal prostate tissue. The association of FPPS with established histopathological risk parameters and biochemical recurrence implicates a contribution of the mevalonate pathway to PC progression. PMID: 22407328
14. FPPS might play an important role in Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in vivo, at least in part through RhoA, p-38 MAPK and TGF-beta1. PMID: 23277274
15. The crystal structure of human FPPS in complex with a novel bisphosphonate YS0470 and in the absence of a second substrate showed partial ordering of the tail in the closed conformation. PMID: 23234314
16. Common polymorphisms of the FDPS gene influence the response to bisphosphonates in osteoporotic women. PMID: 21151198
17. findings reveal a FDPS-dependent mechanism in the internalization and down-regulation of beta2AR, identify FDPS as a potential target for improving the therapeutic efficacy of beta-agonists PMID: 22278941
18. first study on the gene FDPS rs2297480 SNP in postmenopausal Thai women.The effect did not contribute to the baseline of bone mineral density nor bone turnover markers. PMID: 22338925
19. The A/C rs2297480 polymorphism of FDPS was highly differently distributed among osteonecrosis-of-the-jaw patients and controls, with a correlation between AA carrier status and occurrence of ONJ after 18-24 months of treatment with bisphosphonates. PMID: 21196316
20. characterized the sterol-response-element-binding protein 2 and nuclear factor Y-binding site in the farnesyl diphosphate synthase promoter PMID: 20450493
21. This study provides the first evidence of the presence of FPPs activity in human CRC. Moreover, FPPs enzyme was found to play a significant role in colon cancer proliferation. PMID: 15713990
22. mitochondrial targeting of FPS may be widespread among eukaryotes PMID: 17198737
23. findings suggest that a single nucleotide polymorphism in the FDPS gene (rs2297480) may be a genetic marker for lower bone mineral density in postmenopausal Caucasian women PMID: 17368768
24. FDPS is involved in the resistance to zoledronic acid of osteosarcoma cells. PMID: 18494934
25. characterized functionally the minimal basal promoter of the human FDPS gene by means of deletion mutants and we have identified two cis-acting elements which modulate the FDPS gene expression and are recognized by Pax5 and OCT-1 transcription factors PMID: 19056481
26. FPPS knockdown cells activated Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells, as measured by increased levels of CD69 and CD107a, killing of FPPS knockdown cells, and induction of IFN-gamma secretion PMID: 19494338
