Abstract:
Adenylate kinases modulate the three adenine nucleotide pools and were found to be localized as isoenzymes in different tissues and organelles in animals and plants. For investigations of adenylate kinase isoenzymes from plant tissues different plant extracts were examined by anion-exchange chromatography. During investigations with the strong anion exchanger Mono Q, adenylate kinase activity eluted in the void volume. This void volume activity did not always occur, but depended on the age of the plants and light treatment. The nature of the factors affecting void volume activity could only be partially resolved. It could be shown that RNase treatment at the beginning of extraction led to the disappearance of void volume activity, whereas an untreated extract still showed this activity.

Allosteric Proteins-ATCase
Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis pathway,...

Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
