    4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), also known as α-ketoisocaproate dioxygenase (KIC dioxygenase), is an Fe(II)-containing non-heme oxygenase that catalyzes the second reaction in the catabolism of tyrosine - the conversion of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate into homogentisate.

  5. Protein metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_metabolism

    Protein anabolism is the process by which proteins are formed from amino acids. It relies on five processes: amino acid synthesis, transcription, translation, post translational modifications, and protein folding. Proteins are made from amino acids.

  6. Proteostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteostasis

    Proteostasis is the dynamic regulation of a balanced, functional proteome.The proteostasis network includes competing and integrated biological pathways within cells that control the biogenesis, folding, trafficking, and degradation of proteins present within and outside the cell.

  7. Protein kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_kinase

    Above is a ball-and-stick model of the inorganic phosphate molecule (H PO 4 2−).Colour coding: P (orange); O (red); H (white). The chemical activity of a protein kinase involves removing a phosphate group from ATP and covalently attaching it to one of three amino acids that have a free hydroxyl group.

    The diaminopimelic acid pathway. There are two distinct lysine biosynthetic pathways: the diaminopimelic acid pathway and the α-aminoadipate pathway. The most common of the two synthetic pathways is the diaminopimelic acid pathway; it consists of several enzymatic reactions that add carbon groups to aspartate to yield lysine: [30]

  9. Pyruvate, phosphate dikinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate,_phosphate_dikinase

    Though their amino acid sequences are different, residues key to catalysis are preserved in both enzymes. Point-mutagenesis experiments have shown that catalytic residues include Arg 561, Arg 617, Glu 745, Asn 768, and Cys 831 (numbering relative to the C, symbiosum protein, PDB : 1KBL , 1KC7 ).
