| globular protein | <molecular biology> Any protein that adopts a compact morphology is termed globular. Generally applied to proteins in free solution that have a more-or-less spherical shape, but may also be used for compact folded proteins within membranes. (14 Oct 1997) |
| cdc28 protein kinase | <enzyme> A protein kinase encoded by the saccharomyces cerevisiae cdc28 gene and required for progression from the g1 to the s phase in the cell cycle. It is a complex of approximately 160 kD containing a substrate called p40. Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |

| cell-free protein synthesis | <technique> An in vitro method to make proteins, using amino acids, the mRNA corresponding to the protein to be made, and a cell-free extract (the contents of a cell after removal of the cell wall and/or outer cell membranes) for other needed components and enzymes. (26 Mar 1998) |
| PCTAIRE-2 protein kinase | <enzyme> Member of a subfamily of cdc-2-related kinases preferentially expressed in post-mitotic cells; amino acid sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| cellular retinoic acid binding protein | <protein> A cytoplasmic fatty acid binding protein that acts as an initial receptor for the putative morphogen, retinoic acid. (18 Nov 1997) |
| glucose related protein | <protein> One of the stress related proteins: identical to endoplasmin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| rep protein | <protein> A protein that triggers a plasmid's replication. An acronym for Repetitive Extragenic Palindromicprotein, this protein is an enzyme produced by a mutant strain of E. Coli that unwinds the DNA helix. (09 Oct 1997) |
| repressor protein | <molecular biology> A protein that binds to an operator of a gene preventing the transcription of the gene. The binding affinity of repressors for the operator may be affected by other molecules. Inducers bind to repressors and decrease their binding to the operator, while co repressors increase the binding. The paradigm of repressor proteins is the lactose repressor protein that acts on the lac operon and for which the inducers are _ galactosides such as lactose, it is a polypeptide of 360 amino acids that is active as a tetramer. Other examples are the lambda repressor protein of lambda bacteriophage that prevents the transcription of the genes required for the lytic cycle leading to lysogeny and the cro protein, also of lambda, which represses the transcription of the lambda repressor protein establishing the lytic cycle. Both of these are active as dimers and have a common structural feature the helix turn helix motif that is thought to bind to DNA with the helices fitting into adjacent major grooves. (18 Nov 1997) |
