| ribose | A monosaccharide pentose of widespread occurrence in biological molecules, for example RNA. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| ribose binding protein | <protein> Periplasmic binding proteins of bacteria that interact either with the ribose transport system or with the methyl accepting chemotaxis protein MCP III (trg). (18 Nov 1997) |
| ribose polymerase | <enzyme> Enzyme that catalyses the attachment of ADP ribose units to various nuclear proteins. This post translational modification of proteins is dependent on DNA and appears to be involved in the regulation of various cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation and transformation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ribose-1,5-diphosphate synthase | <enzyme> Uses ribose 1-(or 5)p as phosphoryl acceptor and acyl-p of 3-phosphoglyceroylphosphate as phosphoryl donor; similar reaction to glucose 1,6-bisphosphate synthase Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ribose-1,5-p2 synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| ribose-5-phosphate | Ribose phosphorylated on carbon-5; an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ribose-5-phosphate isomerase | <enzyme> An enzyme catalyzing interconversion of d-ribose 5-phosphate and d-ribulose 5-phosphate; of importance in ribose metabolism and in the pentose phosphate pathway. Synonym: phosphopentose isomerase, phosphoriboisomerase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the formation of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate from ATP and ribose-5-phosphate. Chemical name: ATP:ribose-5-phosphate pyrophosphotransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.6.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| ribosemonophosphates | Ribose substituted in the 1-, 3-, or 5-position by a phosphoric acid moiety. (12 Dec 1998) |
| riboside | <biochemistry> A glycoside that has ribose as its sugar component. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ribosomal neutral proteinase | <enzyme> Ribosomal serine proteinase from rat liver ribosomes in cryptic form Registry number: EC 3.4.21.52 Synonym: cathepsin r (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) |
| ribosomal proteins | Proteins found in ribosomes. They are believed to have a catalytic function in reconstituting biologically active ribosomal subunits. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ribosomal RNA | <molecular biology> A nucleic acid found in all living cells. Plays a role in transferring information from DNA to the protein-forming system of the cell. (16 Dec 1997) |
