Figure 26-5. Factors affecting cholesterol balance at the cellular level. Reverse cholesterol transport may be initiated by pre 3 HDL binding to the ABC-1 transporter protein via apo A-l. Cholesterol is then moved out of the cell via the transporter, lipidating the HDL, and the larger particles then dissociate from the ABC-1 molecule. (C, cholesterol CE, cholesteryl ester PL, phospholipid ACAT, acyl-CoA cholesterol acyltransferase LCAT, lecithinicholesterol acyltransferase A-l, apolipoprotein A-l LDL, low-density lipoprotein VLDL, very low density lipoprotein.) LDL and HDL are not shown to scale.

Compound 508 (PNRI-299), a small molecule /3-strand mimetic template compound, is active as an inhibitor of the multifunctional activating protein factor 1 (AP-1). PNRI-299 has demonstrable effects on the reduction of API-driven transcription and beneficial pharmacological effects in a mouse asthma model. The compound affects the expression of leukotriene C4 (LTC4) synthase, a crucial enzyme for the formation of the cysteinyl leukotrienes <2003PNA1169, 2004MI211>. 

Extraction of PHA from plants is likely to be a major factor affecting the production cost of PHA from crops and, therefore, the economic viability of this approach. In contrast to production of PHA from bacterial fermentation, where the production system is designed to produce only PHA, an agricultural production of PHA is likely to be most viable only through the recovery of not only PHA but also all other useful components of the harvested crop, i.e., oil, proteins, and carbohydrates. This fact, combined with the lower level of PHA accumulation in plants in comparison to micro-organism, is likely to make PHA recovery from plants a challenging task.

As noted earlier, microtubule elongation has been characterized largely with respect to the involvement of guanine nucleotides and the modes of drug inhibition of microtubule formation. There have also been a number of important studies on the influence of microtubule-associated proteins and solution variables on the kinetics and thermodynamics of microtubule self-assembly. Of these, the characterization of the so-called mitotic spindle poisons has been particularly complex because of the variety of agents and the diversity of systems studied. For this reason, we shall concentrate on the other factors affecting the elongation process. 

Finally, one should recognize that determinations of the critical concentration depend wholly on the validity of the equilibrium or steady-state assumptions. If a stable end point for prdtomer-polymer coexistence is not attained, then kinetic factors affect the observed behavior. With the well recognized tendency of tubulin to lose its ability to engage in assembly reactions upon storage even at low temperature, and with the presence of various nucleotide hydrolases and transphosphorylases in microtubule protein, such kinetic effects are a serious problem.
