| catabolite (gene) activator protein | A protein that can be activated by cAMP, whereupon it affects the action of RNA polymerase by binding it with it or near it on the DNA to be transcribed. Synonym: cAMP receptor protein, catabolite gene activator. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| matrix Gla protein | A calcium binding protein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cationic protein | <biochemistry> Proteins of azurophil granules of neutrophils, rich in arginine. A chymotrypsin like protease found in azurophil granules is also very cationic as is cathepsin G and neutrophil elastase. Eosinophil cationic protein (21 kD) is particularly important because it damages schistosomula in vitro. (16 Mar 1998) |
| MCK1 protein kinase | <enzyme> From saccharomyces cerevisiae; involved in transcriptional activation of ime1, stimulation of spore maturation, and facilitation of centromere activity during mitosis; member of the glycogen synthase kinase 3 family; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: meiosis and centromere regulatory kinase, ypk1 phosphotyrosyl protein, ypk1 kinase, mck1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| pat1 protein kinase | <enzyme> Negatively regulated by mei3+ gene product Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ran1 protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| glial fibrillary acidic protein | <protein> This protein, found in microfilaments of glial cells, helps distinguish glial from nonglial tumours. A laboratory stain is used to test for its presence. (16 Dec 1997) |
| CCR1 protein kinase | <enzyme> Acts independently of camp-dependent protein kinase and the transcriptional activator adr1 in controlling yeast adh2 expression Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: snf1 protein kinase, glc2 protein, glc2 gene product, snf1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| 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) |
| cdc2+-CDC28-related protein kinase | <enzyme> From rice; key enzyme for cell cycle regulation in eukaryocytes; belongs to serine-threonine kinase subfamily Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: cdc2-cdc28-pk, cdc2-cdc28-rp kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| CDC5 protein kinase | <enzyme> Phosphorylates the residues that play a crucial role in mitotic function; genes msd2 and cdc5 are identical; 705 aa residues, mw 81 kD genbank m84220 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: cdc5 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| CDC7 protein kinase | <enzyme> From saccharomyces cerevisiae; amino acid sequence has been determined; human cdc7 (hucdc7) is genbank ab003698; xenopus cdc7 (xecdc7) is genbank ab003699 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: cdc7 gene product, hucdc7, xecdc7 (26 Jun 1999) |

| 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) |
