| cyclic nucleotide-regulated protein kinases | <enzyme> A group of enzymes that catalyses the phosphorylation of serine or threonine residues of proteins and is dependent on cyclic nucleotides. Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| cyclic phosphorylation | Any process in which a phosphatide ester forms a cylic diester by linkage to a neighbouring hydroxyl group. (18 Nov 1997) |
| RES | <abbreviation> Reticuloendothelial system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyclic nucleotide | A nucleoside monophosphate in which the phosphoryl group is linked twice to the sugar moiety; e.g., adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP). (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleotide 3'-pyrophosphokinase-2',3'-cyclic monophosphokinase | <enzyme> Transfers 5'-beta,gamma-pyrophosphate from ATP and some ATP derivatives to nucleotides and nucleosides at the 3'-hydroxyl group; synthesises the respective 3'-pyrophosphoryl nucleotides Registry number: EC 2.7.6.- Synonym: ppkase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 2'-phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> Catalyses the hydrolysis of the 2'-phosphodiesterase bond to yield nucleoside 3'phosphate Registry number: EC 3.1.4.16 Synonym: 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 2'-phosphohydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> Catalyses the hydrolysis of the 3'-phosphoesterase bond to yield nucleoside 2'-phosphate Registry number: EC 3.1.4.37 Synonym: 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase, 2',3'-cn phosphodiesterase, 2',3'-cnpase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterases | <enzyme> Nucleoside-2',3'-cyclic phosphate nucleotidohydrolase. Enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the 2'- or 3'- phosphate bonds of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides. Also hydrolyzes nucleoside monophosphates. Registry number: EC 3.1.4.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| 3',5'-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP to form adenosine 5'-phosphate. The enzyme is widely distributed in animal tissue and controls the level of intracellular cyclic AMP. Also acts on 3',5'-cyclic imp and 3',5'-cyclic GMP. Chemical name: 3',5'-Cyclic-nucleotide 5'-nucleotidohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.4.17 (12 Dec 1998) |
| phosphorylation | <biochemistry> The creation of a phosphate derivative of an organic molecule. This isusually achieved by transferring a phosphate group from ATP. (09 Oct 1997) |
| phosphorylation of proteins | <biochemistry> Addition of phosphate groups to hydroxyl groups on proteins (side chains s, T or Y) catalysed by a protein kinase often specific) with ATP as phosphate donor. Activity of proteins is often regulated by phosphorylation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| substrate-level phosphorylation | Synthesis of high-energy phosphate bonds through reaction of inorganic phosphate with an activated (usually) organic substrate. (09 Oct 1997) |
| oxidative phosphorylation | <biochemistry> The phosphorylation of ATP coupled to the respiratory chain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| electron transport phosphorylation | <biochemistry> Synthesis of ATP involving a membrane associated electron transport chain and the creation of a proton-motive force. (09 Oct 1997) |
| tyrosine phosphorylation | <enzyme> Kinases that phosphorylate protein tyrosine residues. These kinases play major roles in mitogenic signalling and can be divided into two subfamilies: receptor tyrosine kinases, that have an extracellular ligand binding domain, a single transmembrane domain and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain and nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, which are soluble, cytoplasmic kinases.
