| UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-N-acetylmuramyl-(pentapeptide)pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenol N-acetylglucosamine transferase | <enzyme> Found in cell envelope of E coli; catalyses the formation of undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-murnac-(pentapeptide)glcnac (lipid intermediate II) from undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-murnac-pentapeptide (lipid intermediate i) and udp-glcnac in peptidoglycan synthesis Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- Synonym: murg gene product, murg protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| ketal pyruvate transferase | <enzyme> Involves the transfer of the pyruvyl residue from phosphoenolpyruvate to the external mannose of pentasaccharide diphosphate lipid Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| 3-ketoacid-CoA transferase | <enzyme> An enzyme catalyzing the reversible conversion of acetoacetyl-CoA and succinate into succinyl-CoA and acetoacetate; malonyl-CoA can substitute for succinyl-CoA and a few other 3-oxo acids for the acetoacetate; an important step in order for the ketone bodies to serve as a fuel for extrahepatic tissues. Synonym: 3-ketoacid-CoA transferase, acetoacetyl-succinic thiophorase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 3-oxoacid-CoA transferase | <enzyme> An enzyme catalyzing the reversible conversion of acetoacetyl-CoA and succinate into succinyl-CoA and acetoacetate; malonyl-CoA can substitute for succinyl-CoA and a few other 3-oxo acids for the acetoacetate; an important step in order for the ketone bodies to serve as a fuel for extrahepatic tissues. Synonym: 3-ketoacid-CoA transferase, acetoacetyl-succinic thiophorase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 4-hydroxybutyrate CoA-transferase | <enzyme> Forms 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA from 4-hydroxybutyrate and acetyl-CoA Registry number: EC 2.8.3.- Synonym: 4-hydroxybutyrate coenzyme a transferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 4''-mycarosyl isovaleryl-coenzyme A transferase | <enzyme> Carries out 4"-o-acylation of macrolide antibiotic on the 4"-hydroxy moiety of mycarose; acyb1 isolated from streptomyces thermotolerans; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: care protein, acyb1 protein, 4''-mycarosyl isovaleryl-CoA transferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 5-hydroxyvalerate CoA-transferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA from 5-hydroxyvalerate and acetyl-CoA; also acts on propionate and 5-hydroxy-2-pentenoate Registry number: EC 2.8.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| formyl-coenzyme A transferase | <enzyme> From oxalbacter formigenes; has been sequenced; genbank u82167 Registry number: EC 2.8.3.- Synonym: formyl-CoA transferase, frc gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| lecithin-cholesterol transferase | A plasma enzyme that catalyses the uptake of cholesterol esters by intermediate-density lipoproteins formed by high density lipoproteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fucosyl transferase | <enzyme> An enzyme catalysing the transfer of fucosyl residues from the nucleotide sugar GDP fucose. (18 Nov 1997) |
| A-DNA | A form of DNA in which the helix is right-handed and the overall appearance is short and broad. (05 Mar 2000) |
| a-form DNA | <molecular biology> One of several forms that can be assumed by a double helix. A-DNA is stable in dehydrated conditions. This form is less common than the dominant form found under physiological conditions -- beta-DNA. This form is also assumed by DNA-RNA hybrid helices and by regions of double-stranded RNA. It is a right-handed helix and is a more compact form than beta-DNA. (09 Oct 1997) |
| antisense DNA | <molecular biology> A synthetic DNA strand that is complementary to a particular strand of target DNA with a complementary sequence of bases. This results in preventing expression of the gene encoded. These proteins can be used to selectively turn off production of certain proteins or block viral genetic instructions, by marking them for destruction by cellular enzymes, in order to prevent the building of new virus or the infection of new cells. (14 Nov 1997) |
| apurinic DNA | <molecular biology> A DNA molecule that has lost adenine and guanine, its purine bases. Apurinic DNA can be produced by treating the DNA with acid. (09 Oct 1997) |
