| guanosine phosphotransferase | <enzyme> From eimeria tenella; uses several phosphate donors: acetyl phosphate, ATP, utp, phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate to form GMP Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: gptase (26 Jun 1999) |

| guanosine tetraphosphate | <chemical> Guanosine 5'-diphosphate 2'(3')-diphosphate. A guanine nucleotide containing four phosphate groups. Two phosphate groups are esterified to the sugar moiety in the 5' position and the other two in the 2' or 3' position. This nucleotide serves as a messenger to turn off the synthesis of ribosomal RNA when amino acids are not available for protein synthesis. Synonym: magic spot I. Chemical name: Guanosine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate), mono(trihydrogen diphosphate) (ester) (12 Dec 1998) |
| guanosine triphosphate | A molecule which consists of the nitrogenous base guanine linked to the sugar ribose and which has three phosphate groups attached to the 5th carbom atom of the ribose. GTP is a high-energy compound which serves as an energy source for many biochemical reactions. It is required for the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during translation and is required for ribonucleic acid synthesis since it is a direct precursor. (09 Oct 1997) |
| guanosine triphosphate binding protein | <protein> A type of protein embedded in the cytoplasmic membrane of the cell which transmits signals from outside the cell (such as from hormones binding to receptors on the outside of the cell) to the inside of the cell, where it causes some sort of biochemical reaction within the cell to the signal (such as the altering of metabolic pathways or gene expression). The process by which the protein does this is unclear but involves exchanging a molecule of GDP for a molecule of GTP. (09 Oct 1997) |
| phosphomannose isomerase-guanosine diphospho-D-mannose pyrophosphorylase | <chemical> Encoded by alfa gene; from pseudomonas aeruginosa; similar to pssm protein; amino acid sequence given in first source;see also separate records for EC 2.7.7.13 (GDPmannose pyrophosphorylase) and EC 5.3.1.8 (mannosephosphate isomerase) Synonym: pmi-GMP, alga protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| tRNA(guanosine-2'-)-methyltransferase | <enzyme> Transfers the methyl group from s-adenosyl-l-methionine to the 2'-hydroxyl group of a guanosine residue present in a gg sequence in trna(try) Registry number: EC 2.1.1.34 Synonym: trna(gm)methylase, trna(wobble guanosine 2'-o-)methyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| U1 small nuclear RNA-(guanosine-N2)-methyltransferase | <enzyme> A trans-active non-small nuclear ribonucleoprotein; facilitates the formation of the m3g cap Registry number: EC 2.1.1.- Synonym: u1 snrna(g-n2)mtase (26 Jun 1999) |
| adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate | An activator of phosphorylase kinase and an effector of other enzymes, formed in muscle from ATP by adenylate cyclase and broken down to 5'-AMP by a phosphodiesterase; sometimes referred to as the "second messenger." A related compound (2',3') is also known. Synonym: cyclic adenylic acid, cyclic AMP, cyclic phosphate. Acronym: cAMP (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine monophosphate | <chemical> Adenylic acid. Adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the sugar moiety in the 2'-, 3'-, or 5'-position. Chemical name: 5'-Adenylic acid (12 Dec 1998) |
| pentose monophosphate shunt | <biochemistry> A pathway of hexose oxidation in which glucose-6-phosphate undergoes two successive oxidations by NADP, the final one being an oxidative decarboxylation to form a pentose phosphate. Diverges from this when glucose-6-phosphate is oxidized to ribose 5 phosphate by the enzyme glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase. This step reduces NADP to NADPH, generating a source of reducing power in cells for use in reductive biosyntheses. In plants, part of the pathway functions in the formation of hexoses from carbon dioxide in photosynthesis. Also important as source of pentoses, for example for nucleic acid biosynthesis. This pathway is the main metabolic pathway in neutrophils, congenital deficiency in the pathway produces sensitivity to infection. Alternative metabolic route to Embden Meyerhof pathway for breakdown of glucose. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cyclic uridine 3',5'-monophosphate | A cyclic nucleotide involved in metabolic regulation; inhibits the growth of some tumours. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytidine monophosphate | A cytosine ribonucleotide (where the nitrogenous base cytosine is linked to the sugar ribose and a phosphate group) that helps make glycoproteins (a protein linked to a sugar or polysaccharide). (09 Oct 1997) |
| cytidine monophosphate n-acetylneuraminic acid | <chemical> A nucleoside monophosphate sugar which donates n-acetylneuraminic acid to the terminal sugar of a ganglioside or glycoprotein. Chemical name: D-glycero-beta-D-galacto-2-Nonulopyranosonic acid, 5-(acetylamino)-3,5-dideoxy-, 2-(hydrogen 5'-cytidylate) (12 Dec 1998) |
| xanthosine 5'-monophosphate | The monophosphoric ester of xanthosine. An intermediate in GMP biosynthesis. Synonym: xanthidylic acid, xanthine nucleotide, xanthylic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hexose monophosphate pathway | <biochemistry> A pathway of hexose oxidation in which glucose-6-phosphate undergoes two successive oxidations by NADP, the final one being an oxidative decarboxylation to form a pentose phosphate.
