Loss of HMG-CoA Reductase in C. elegans Causes Defects in Protein Prenylation and Muscle Mitochondria

HMG-CoA reductase is the rate-limiting enzyme in the mevalonate pathway and the target of cholesterol-lowering statins. We characterized the C. elegans hmgr-1(tm4368) mutant, which lacks HMG-CoA reductase, and show that its phenotypes recapitulate that of statin treatment, though in a more severe fo...
