We recently described the identification of a novel isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase, IDI2 in humans and mice. Our current data indicate that, in humans, IDI2 is expressed only in skeletal muscle. Expression constructs of human IDI2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae can complement isomerase function in an idi1-deficient yeast strain. Furthermore, IDI2 has the ability to catalyze the isomerization of [(14)C]IPP to [(14)C]DMAPP. Enzyme kinetic analysis of partially purified IDI2 demonstrate the novel isozyme has a maximal relative specific activity of 1.2 x 10(-1) +/- 0.3 micromol min(-1) mg(-1) at pH 8.0 with a K(IPP)(m) value of 22.8 microm IPP. Both isozymes, IDI1 and IDI2 are localized to the peroxisome by a PTS1-dependent pathway. Finally, our data suggest that IDI2 is regulated independently from IDI1, by a mechanism that may involve PPARalpha.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the lncRNA IDI2-AS1 interacts with miR-33b-5p and NR4A2 in a regulatory network that may influence the development of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
- Researchers utilized gene expression data from the GEO database to analyze differential expressions and predict upstream regulatory mechanisms of NR4A2.
- Experiments involved various treatments in male mice and rats to assess heart function and tissue response, focusing on dimensions, fractional shortening, ejection fraction, and cell activity related to ischemia and hypoxia conditions.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive disease for which there is no effective cure. We aimed to identify potential drug targets for CKD and kidney function by integrating plasma proteome and transcriptome.
Methods: We designed a comprehensive analysis pipeline involving two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) (for proteins), summary-based MR (SMR) (for mRNA), and colocalization (for coding genes) to identify potential multi-omics biomarkers for CKD and combined the protein-protein interaction, Gene Ontology (GO), and single-cell annotation to explore the potential biological roles.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are sequences longer than 200 nucleotides, but they do not encode proteins. Nevertheless, they have significant roles in diverse biological functions. It remains unclear how viral infections trigger the expression of lncRNAs.

Plants, animals and humans metabolically produce volatile isoprene (CH). Humans continuously exhale isoprene and exhaled concentrations differ under various physio-metabolic and pathophysiological conditions. Yet unknown metabolic origin hinders isoprene to reach clinical practice as a biomarker.

A reduced dendritic complexity, especially in regions such as the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex, has been linked to the pathophysiology of some neuropsychiatric disorders, in which synaptic plasticity and functions such as emotional and cognitive processing are compromised. For this reason, the identification of new therapeutic strategies would be enriched by the search for metabolites that promote structural plasticity. The present study evaluated the dendritogenic potential of the ethanol extract of , an aromatic plant rich in flavonoids and terpenes, which has been widely used in traditional medicine for its presumed analgesic, anxiolytic, and antidepressant potential.
