| chemotactic protein methylesterase | <enzyme> Demethylates methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: chemotactic methylesterase, carboxymethylesterase of chemotaxis, cheb methylesterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| peripheral membrane protein | <protein> Membrane proteins that are bound to the surface of the membrane and not integrated into the hydrophobic region. Usually soluble and were originally thought to bind to integral proteins by ionic and other weak forces (and could therefore be removed by high ionic strength, for example). However, it is now clear that some peripheral membrane proteins are covalently linked to molecules that are part of the membrane bilayer (see acylated proteins and glypiation) and that there are others that fit the original definition but are perhps more appropriately considered proteins of the cytoskeleton (e.g. Band 4.1 and spectrin) or extracellular matrix (e.g. Fibronectin). (18 Nov 1997) |
| peripheral protein | <protein> A water-soluble protein that is loosely bound (by hydrogen bonds orelectrostatic forces) to a membrane. (09 Oct 1997) |
| periplasmic protein disulfide oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Isolated from haemophilus influenzae; may be required for assembly or folding of one or more disulfide-containing cell envelope proteins; ccmg isolated from paracoccus denitrificans Registry number: EC 1.8.4.- Synonym: por disulfide oxidoreductase, por gene product, periplasmic oxidoreductase, ccmg gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| ribosomal protein | <protein> Proteins present within the ribosomal subunits. In prokaryotes there are 31 proteins in the large subunit and 21 in the small subunit. Eukaryotic subunits have 50 (large subunit) and 33 (small subunit) proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ribosomal protein s6 kinase | <enzyme> A protein serine/threonine kinase which is involved in cell transformation by polyoma virus and is connected to the expression of igf2. The immunosuppressant rapamycin inhibits the activation of the kinase, leading to reduced translation of certain mRNAs and a decrease in protein synthesis. Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| ribosomal protein S6 kinase kinase | <enzyme> Isolated from unfertilised xenopus eggs; a 41 kD enzyme that is associated, in vivo, with phosphorylation on threonine and tyrosine residues and, in vitro, with phosphorylation on serine as well Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: rsk kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| chk1 protein kinase | <enzyme> A yeast protein kinase homolog, involved in cell-cycle arrest when DNA damage has occurred or when unligated DNA is present; named chk1 for checkpoint kinase; genbank af016582 (human), af016583 (murine) Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: chk1 kinase, chk1 gene product, rad27 protein, rad27 gene product, hchk1 (human), mchk1 (murine), mammalian chk1 (26 Jun 1999) |
| green fluorescent protein | <protein> A protein found in jellyfish which fluoresces, or glows green visible light when excited by UV light with a wavelength of 395 nanometres. It can function as a biological marker when attached to other proteins. The structure of the protein is cylindrical with the glowing component, an amino acid complex called a fluorophore, in the middle of it. (09 Oct 1997) |
| groel protein | A chaperonin 60 heat-shock protein isolated from escherichia coli. (12 Dec 1998) |
| groes protein | A chaperonin 10 heat-shock protein isolated from escherichia coli. (12 Dec 1998) |
| GTPase activating protein | <molecular biology> Originally purified as a 125 kD protein from bovine brain (1044 amino acids), stimulates the GTPase activity of ras p21 and thereby switches it to the inactive state. GAP may itself be regulated by phospholipids and by phosphorylation on a tyrosine residue by growth factor receptors (PDGF R, EGF R). The neurofibromatosis type 1 gene NF1) codes for a protein homologous to GAP. GAP has both SH2 and SH3 domains. Another example is sar 1 (from yeast). (18 Nov 1997) |
| RLK5-associated protein phosphatase | <enzyme> Associated with serine-threonine receptor-like kinase, rlk5; from arabidopsis thaliana; composed of 3 domains, an amino-terminal signal anchor, a kinase interaction domain and a type 2c protein phosphatase catalytic domain; mw 65 kD; genbank u09505 Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: kapp, kinase-associated protein phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
