| UBC proteins | <protein> Family of proteins involved in conjugating ubiquitin to proteins. UBC1, UBC4 and UBC5 have a role in targeting proteins for degradation, but others have more complex roles, including an involvement in cell cycle control (UBC3) and the secretory pathway (UBC6). (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| kazal proteins | <molecular biology> Family of serine protease inhibitors. Includes seminal acrosin inhibitors, pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI), Bdellin B 3 from leech. (18 Nov 1997) |
| fatty acid binding proteins | <biochemistry> Group of small cytosolic proteins that bind fatty acids or other organic solutes. (18 Nov 1997) |
| unwinding proteins | Enzymes that uncoil the DNA allowing recombination events to occur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fungal proteins | Proteins found in any species of fungus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fusion proteins, bcr-abl | Translation products of a fusion mRNA derived from the breakpoint cluster region (bcr) gene and a cellular abl (c-abl) gene translocated to chromosome 22. The p210(bcr-abl) fusion protein is found in patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia. The p190(bcr-abl) fusion protein is found in patients with acute lymphocytic leukaemia. The activation of human c-abl by chromosomal translocation is essentially the same as the activation of murine c-abl by viral translocation in abelson murine leukaemia virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fusion proteins, gag-onc | General name for the translation products of a fusion mRNA consisting of a gag gene and a viral oncogene (v-onc). These products are thought to have the ability to transform cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fusion proteins, gag-pol | Polyprotein products of a fused portion of retroviral mRNA containing the gag and pol genes. The polyprotein is synthesised only five percent of the time since pol is out of frame with gag, and is generated by ribosomal frameshifting. (12 Dec 1998) |
| luminescent proteins | Proteins which are involved in the phenomenon of light emission in living systems. Included are the "enzymatic" and "non-enzymatic" types of system with or without the presence of oxygen or co-factors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ABO blood group | <haematology> The major human blood type system which describes the oligosaccharide glycoprotein antigens found on the surface of human blood cells. According to the type of antigen present, a person may be assigned a blood type of A, B, AB or O. A second type of antigen, the Rh factor, renders a positive or negative blood type. The ABO blood group system is important because it determines who can donate blood to or accept blood from whom. Type A or AB blood will cause an immune reaction in people with type B blood and type B and AB blood will cause a reaction in people with type A blood. Conversely, type O blood has no A or B antigens, so people with type O blood are universal donors. And since AB blood already produces both antigens, people who are type AB can accept any of the other blood types without suffering an immune reaction. (04 Jul 1999) |
| actinobacteria group | A group of gram-positive, heterogeneous bacteria. This group encompasses a range of morphologically, physiologically, and chemically different organisms and includes bacteria that form cocci, short rods, irregular rods, and mycelia that fragment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alkyl group | <chemistry> A funtional group on an organic molecule which is derived from an alkane which has lost a hydrogen atom. (13 Nov 1997) |
| aluminum group | Aluminum, boron, gallium, indium, and thallium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amino group | <biochemistry> An -NH2 group. Organic compounds which have this group are called amines. (09 Oct 1997) |
| anterior group of axillary lymph nodes | Lymph nodes located along the lateral thoracic vein; they receive the drainage of the pectoral region, including most of the drainage of the breast. Synonym: nodi lymphatici axillaris pectorales, anterior group of axillary lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
