| ADP | Adenosine Di-Phosphate |
| AMP | Adenosine Mono-Phosphate |
| gentamicin 2'-N-acetyltransferase | <enzyme> An aminoglycoside acetyltransferase; isolated from providencia stuartii; genbank l06156 Registry number: EC 2.3.1.59 Synonym: aac(2')-ia, 2'-n-acetyltransferase, providencia stuartii (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| glucosamine acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Deficient in sanfilippo syndrome type c Registry number: EC 2.3.1.3 Synonym: acetyl-CoA-alpha-glucosaminide n-acetyltransferase, acetyl-coenzyme a-alpha-glucosaminide n-acetyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glutamate acetyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme catalyzing transfer of an acetyl group from N2-acetylornithine to l-glutamate forming l-ornithine and N-acetyl-l-glutamate, an activator of the urea cycle. Synonym: ornithine acetyltransferase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peptide N-alpha acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Pituitary enzyme; acetylates peptide hormones including acth; also found in saccharomyces cerevisiae Registry number: EC 2.3.1.88 Synonym: peptide acetyltransferase, acth acetyltransferase, beta-endorphin acetyltransferase, alpha-msh acetyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| chloramphenicol acetyltransferase | <enzyme> A bacterial enzyme that inactivates the antibiotic chloramphenicol by acetylation. Widely used as a reporter gene for examining the control of eucaryotic gene expression. Acronym: CAT (08 Mar 2000) |
| chloramphenicol acetyltransferase assay | <investigation> A lab technique used to determine whether a given fragment of DNA has a promoter on it to encourage transcription to occur, by attaching the gene (called the CAT gene) which codes for the CAT enzyme to it, and observing whether the CAT enzyme is produced. (05 Jan 1998) |
| chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene | <molecular biology> A gene which codes for the CAT enzyme (the enzyme chloramphenicol acetyltransferase), which helps transfer an acetyl group (a CH3CO- group) to chloramphenicol, an antibiotic. The CAT gene is an important part of CAT assays. (09 Oct 1997) |
| chloramphenicol o-acetyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the acetylation of chloramphenicol to yield chloramphenicol 3-acetate. Since chloramphenicol 3-acetate does not bind to bacterial ribosomes and is not an inhibitor of peptidyltransferase, the enzyme is responsible for the naturally occurring chloramphenicol resistance in bacteria. The enzyme, for which variants are known, is found in both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Chemical name: Acetyl-CoA-chloramphenicol 3-O-acetyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.3.1.28 (12 Dec 1998) |
| choline acetyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that controls the production of acetylcholine, appears to be depleted in the brains of alzheimer patients. (22 May 1997) |
| choline o-acetyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the formation of acetylcholine from acetyl-CoA and choline. Chemical name: Acetyl-CoA:choline O-acetyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.3.1.6 (12 Dec 1998) |
| methionine acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the amino-terminal acetylation Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: methionine n(alpha)-acetyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| phenetidine N-acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Acts on unalkylated arylamines; not the same as EC 2.3.1.5 Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| polysialic acid O-acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Preferentiallly acetylates high molecular weight polymers of sialic acid of E coli capsular polysaccharide Registry number: EC 2.3.1.136 Synonym: polysialosyl acetyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cysteine S-conjugate N-acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses n-acetylation of l-cysteine thioesters to form mercapturic acids; important in drug detoxication Registry number: EC 2.3.1.80 Synonym: cscn acetyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| protein N-terminal acetyltransferase | <enzyme> From saccharmyces cerevisiae; encodes a catalytic subunit of an n-terminal acetyltransferase; ard1 and nat1 proteins are subunits of this enzyme Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: nat1 gene protein, saccharomyces, yeast protein n-terminal acetyltransferase, n-terminal protein acetyltransferase, ard1 protein (26 Jun 1999) |
