| spore germination protease | <enzyme> Isolated from baccilus. Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- (26 Jun 1999) |

| germination | The process where a seed, spore, or zygote begins to sprout, grow, or develop, usually after it has been dormant for a time while waiting for the right growing conditions. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| acid soluble spore protein | <molecular biology> A DNA binding protein in the spores of some bacteria, thought to stabilise the DNA in an A configuration, so protecting it from cleavage by enzymes or UV light. (18 Nov 1997) |
| black spore | A degenerating malarial or other blood parasite in the body of the mosquito. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brand spore | <botany> One of several spores growing in a series or chain, and produced by one of the fungi called brand. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| spore | <plant biology> Highly resistant dehydrated form of reproductive cell produced under conditions of environmental stress. Usually have very resistant cell walls (integument) and low metabolic rate until activated. Bacterial spores may survive quite extraordinary extremes of temperature, dehydration or chemical insult. Gives rise to a new individual without fusion with another cell. (18 Nov 1997) |
| spore photoproduct lyase | <enzyme> A 40-kD polypeptide that shows regional amino acid sequence homology to DNA photolyases; involved in repair of uv radiation-induced DNA damage during spore germination Registry number: EC 4.1.99.- Synonym: sp lyase, spl protein, spl gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| AB-C protease | <enzyme> From agkistrodon bilineatus; activates protein c; inhibited by calcium; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| acid protease | <enzyme> Any of many protein-hydrolysing rennin. Similar proteases produced by fungi such as Aspergillus oryzae are used in the manufacture of flour and soy sauce. (06 May 1997) |
| AH-101 thermostable alkaline protease | <enzyme> Isolated from bacillus sp. No. Ah-101; has sequence similarity to other subtilisin-like enzymes Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: ah-101 protease (26 Jun 1999) |
| alkaline protease | <enzyme> These proteases work best in the pH range of 8 to 11 and are used widelyin washing powders and to de-hair hides. Alkaline proteases are mainlyproduced by bacteria in the Bacillus species. (13 Nov 1997) |
| Alp protease | <enzyme> Gene alpa (previously called alp) does not encode its components, although is involved with its activity Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| amyloid A-degrading serine protease | <enzyme> Reduced in amyloidosis associated with rheumatoid arthritis Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: amyloid a-degrading activity, aad-protease (26 Jun 1999) |
| androgen-dependent secretory protease | <enzyme> Glycoprotein from dog prostate; hydrolyzes arginine and lysine-containing amide and ester protease substrates Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- Synonym: ads-protease (26 Jun 1999) |
| AP24 apoptotic protease | <enzyme> Activated during apoptosis; activates internucleosomal DNA fragmentation Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: 24-kD apoptotic protease, apoptotic protease ap24 (26 Jun 1999) |
| ATP dependent 26S protease | <enzyme> Degrades proteins conjugated to ubiquitin; composed of cf-1,cf-2, and cf-3; cf-2 (also known as 240-kD proteasome inhibitor) is identical to aminolevulinic acid dehydratase Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- Synonym: 26s protease, 26 s proteasome complex, 26s proteasome (26 Jun 1999) |
