| retroviridae proteins | Proteins from the family retroviridae. The most frequently encountered member of this family is the rous sarcoma virus protein. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| retroviridae proteins, oncogenic | Retroviral proteins that have the ability to transform cells. They can induce sarcomas, leukaemias, lymphomas, and mammary carcinomas. Not all retroviral proteins are oncogenic. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chimeric proteins | Proteins in individuals that are derived from genetically different zygotes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peripheral proteins | Pathways that can be easily removed from a biomembrane (e.g., by altering the pH or the ionic strength). Synonym: extrinsic proteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periplasmic binding proteins | Transport proteins located within the periplasmic space. Some act as receptors for bacterial chemotaxis, interacting with MCPs. Their mode of action is unclear. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ribosomal proteins | Proteins found in ribosomes. They are believed to have a catalytic function in reconstituting biologically active ribosomal subunits. (12 Dec 1998) |
| growth associated proteins | <growth factor> Group of developmentally regulated polypeptides thought to be critical for the formation of neural circuitry. The acidic membrane phosphoprotein GAP 43 is synthesised and transported down regenerating and developing axons, pp46 localised in growth cone membranes during embryogenesis, B 50 in mature presynaptic membranes in the regulation of phosphotidylinositol turnover and F1 in the hippocampus during long-term potentiation, are now all known to be the same protein. (18 Nov 1997) |
| RNA-binding proteins | Proteins which bind to RNA molecules. Certain structure motifs are common to several of the proteins, such as arginine (arg)-rich tracts, typically consisting of alternating arg-asp, arg-ser, or arg-gly residues. These proteins also tend to have a common ribonucleotide sequence domain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chromosomal proteins, non-histone | Nucleoproteins which in contrast to histones are acid insoluble. They are involved in chromosomal functions; e.g. They bind selectively to DNA, stimulate transcription resulting in tissue-specific RNA synthesis and undergo specific changes in response to various hormones or phytomitogens. (12 Dec 1998) |
| microfilament proteins | Filaments which are composed primarily of actin and found in the cytoplasmic matrix of almost all cells. They are often associated with microtubules and may play a role in cytoskeletal function and/or mediate movement of the cell or the organelles within the cell. (12 Dec 1998) |
| microtubule-associated proteins | <protein> High molecular weight proteins found in the microtubules of the cytoskeletal system. Under certain conditions they are required for tubulin assembly into the microtubules and stabilise the assembled microtubules. Acronym: MAP (12 Dec 1998) |
| milk proteins | The major protein constituents of milk are caseins and whey proteins such as lactalbumin and lactoglobulins. Immunoglobulins occur in high concentrations in colostrum and in relatively lower concentrations in milk. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| clathrin adaptor proteins | <cell biology> Family of proteins that bind to clathrin and promote its assembly into vesicle coats. Different adaptor proteins are associated with coated vesicles of Golgi or plasma membrane origin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| monocyte chemoattractant proteins | Chemokines that are chemoattractants for monocytes. These cc chemokines (cysteines adjacent) number at least three including monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. (12 Dec 1998) |
