| polyphosphate AMP phosphotransferase | <enzyme> From acinetobacter; catalyses (polyphosphate)n and AMP to (polyphosphate)n-1 and ADP Registry number: EC 2.7.4.- Synonym: pamp phosphotransferase (26 Jun 1999) |

| cyclic AMP | <molecular biology> 3'5' cyclic ester of AMP. The first second messenger hormone signalling system to be characterised. Generated from ATP by the action of adenyl cyclase that is coupled to hormone receptors by G-proteins (GTP-binding proteins). CAMP activates a specific (cAMP dependent) protein kinase and is inactivated by phosphodiesterase action giving 5'AMP. Also functions as an extracellular morphogen for some slime moulds. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase | Enzymes which attach phosphate groups to the serine or tyrosine amino acids on proteins as a means of regulating the proteins' activity in metabolic reactions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases | <enzyme> A group of enzymes that are dependent on cyclic AMP and catalyze the phosphorylation of serine or threonine residues on proteins. Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| cyclic AMP receptor protein | A transcriptional regulator in prokaryotes which, when activated by binding cyclic AMP, acts at several promoters. Cyclic AMP receptor protein was originally identified as a catabolite gene activator protein. It was subsequently shown to regulate several functions unrelated to catabolism, and to be both a negative and a positive regulator of transcription. Cell surface cyclic AMP receptors are not included (cyclic AMP receptors), nor are the eukaryotic cytoplasmic cyclic AMP receptor proteins, which are the regulatory subunits of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dibutyryl cyclic AMP | An analogue of cyclic AMP that shares some of the pharmacological effects of this nucleotide, but is generally believed to enter cells more readily on account of its greater hydrophobicity. (18 Nov 1997) |
| DNA-binding protein, cyclic AMP-responsive | A protein that has been shown to function as a calcium regulated transcription factor as well as a substrate for depolarisation-activated calcium calmodulin-dependent protein kinases I and II. This protein functions to integrate both calcium and camp signals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate-AMP ligase | <enzyme> Catalyses the conversion of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate and ATP to form (2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)adenylate, this acyladenylate remains bound to the enzyme for further reactions in the overall biosynthesis of enterobactin Registry number: EC 6.5.- Synonym: 2,3dhb-AMP ligase, ente gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| 3',5'-cyclic AMP synthetase | <enzyme> Enzyme responsible for the ATP. (06 May 1997) |
| 3-hydroxypicolinic acid-AMP ligase | <enzyme> From cell extracts of streptomyces pristinaespiralis; activates the first pristinamycin 1 residue 3-hydroxypicolinic acid; shows 58% nh2-terminal amino acid sequence identity with s. Griseoviridus 3-hpa-activating enzyme; amino acid sequence given in first source (page 709) Registry number: EC 6.3.2.- Synonym: pi synthetase 1, snba protein, pristinamycin I synthetase 1,3-hpa-AMP ligase (26 Jun 1999) |
| L-phenylglycine-AMP ligase | <enzyme> Catalyses l-phenylglycine-dependent ATP-pyrophosphate exchange; partial amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 6.3.2.- Synonym: pristinamycin I synthetase 4, pi synthetase 4, snbe protein (26 Jun 1999) |
