| sugar-non-specific nuclease | <enzyme> An exocytoplasmic sugar-non-specific nuclease that is able to degrade linear or covalently closed circular double-stranded DNA as well as single-stranded DNA or RNA; from cyanobacterium anabaena; mw 29 kD; amino acid sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 3.1.- Synonym: nuca gene product, anabaena (26 Jun 1999) |
| deoxyribonucleases, type III site-specific | <enzyme> Enzyme systems composed of two subunits and requiring ATP and magnesium for endonucleolytic activity; they do not function as atpases. They exist as complexes with modification methylases of similar specificity. The systems recognise specific short DNA sequences and cleave a short distance, about 24 to 27 bases, away from the recognition sequence to give specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. Enzymes from different microorganisms with the same specificity are called isoschizomers. Registry number: EC 3.1.21.5 (12 Dec 1998) |
| deoxyribonucleases, type II site-specific | <enzyme> Enzyme systems containing a single subunit and requiring only magnesium for endonucleolytic activity. The corresponding modification methylases are separate enzymes. The systems recognise specific short DNA sequences and cleave either within, or at a short specific distance from, the recognition sequence to give specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. Enzymes from different microorganisms with the same specificity are called isoschizomers. Registry number: EC 3.1.21.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
| deoxyribonucleases, type I site-specific | <enzyme> Enzyme systems containing three different subunits and requiring ATP, s-adenosylmethionine, and magnesium for endonucleolytic activity to give random double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. They function also as DNA-dependent atpases and modification methylases, catalyzing the reactions of EC 2.1.1.72 and EC 2.1.1.73 with similar site-specificity. The systems recognise specific short DNA sequences and cleave at sites remote from the recognition sequence. Enzymes from different microorganisms with the same specificity are called isoschizomers. Registry number: EC 3.1.21.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| IgA-specific serine endopeptidase | <enzyme> Extracellular microbial enzymes whose only substrate is human IgA of the iga1 subclass; cleave the immunoglobulin at a specific internal prolyl-threonyl peptide bond in the heavy chain to yield intact faba and fca fragments; consider also EC 3.4.24.13 Registry number: EC 3.4.21.72 Synonym: immunoglobulin a(1) protease, iga1 protease, immunoglobulin a1 protease, IgA protease (26 Jun 1999) |
| organ-specific | Denoting or pertaining to a serum produced by the injection of the cells of a certain organ or tissue that, when injected into another animal, destroys the cells of the corresponding organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| organ-specific antigen | A heterogenetic antigen with organ specificity; e.g., in addition to species-specific antigen, kidney of one species contains antigen that is identical to that in kidney of other species. Synonym: tissue-specific antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tail-specific protease | <enzyme> Selectively degrades proteins with nonpolar c termini Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- Synonym: tsp protease, prc protein, prc gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| tissue-specific antigen | A heterogenetic antigen with organ specificity; e.g., in addition to species-specific antigen, kidney of one species contains antigen that is identical to that in kidney of other species. Synonym: tissue-specific antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tumour specific antigen | <immunology, oncology> Antigen on tumour cells detected by cell-mediated immunity. For virus transformed cells TSTA (unlike T antigen) is found to differ for different individual tumours induced by the same virus. May consist of fragments of T antigens exposed at the cell surface. (18 Nov 1997) |
| tumour-specific transplantation antigens | Surface antigen's of DNA tumour virus-transformed cells, which elicit an immune rejection of the virus-free cells when transplanted into an animal that has been immunised against the specific cell-transforming virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uridine-specific acid nuclease | <enzyme> Chicken liver enzyme hydrolyzes poly(u) and e. Coli RNA Registry number: EC 3.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| fluoroacetate-specific dehalogenase | <enzyme> Acts on fluoroacetamide at 0.1 the rate for fluoroacetate Registry number: EC 3.8.1.- Synonym: fluoroacetate-specific defluorinase, fac dehalogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| law of specific nerve energies | Each type of sensory nerve ending, however stimulated (electrically, mechanically, etc.), gives rise to its own specific sensation; moreover, each type of sensation depends not upon any special character of the different nerves but upon the part of the brain in which their fibres terminate. Synonym: law of specific nerve energies. (05 Mar 2000) |
