The breakdown into simpler components of compounds derived from indole (2,3-benzopyrrole).

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the gonad over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The gonad is an animal organ that produces gametes; in some species it also produces hormones.

The formation from simpler components of mannose, the aldohexose manno-hexose, the C-2 epimer of glucose.

The formation from simpler components of melanins, pigments largely of animal origin. High molecular weight polymers of indole quinone, they are irregular polymeric structures and are divided into three groups: allomelanins in the plant kingdom and eumelanins and phaeomelanins in the animal kingdom.

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids by removing nucleotide residues from the 3' end.

Catalysis of the reaction: carbamoyl phosphate + L-aspartate = phosphate + N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate.

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids by removing nucleotide residues from the 5' end.

Catalysis of the reaction: bilirubin + NADP+ = biliverdin + NADPH + H+.

Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + biotin-carboxyl-carrier protein + CO2 = ADP + phosphate + carboxybiotin-carboxyl-carrier protein.

Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + biotin + apo-(acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP forming)) = AMP + diphosphate + (acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP forming)).

A multienzyme complex that catalyzes the reversible oxidation of glycine. In E. coli, it has four components: dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating), lipoyl-GcvH-protein and aminomethyltransferase.

Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + biotin + apo-(3-methylcrotonoyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)) = AMP + diphosphate + (3-methylcrotonoyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)).

The region that lies just beneath the plasma membrane on the basal edge of a cell.

A component, along with aminomethyltransferase, of the glycine cleavage system; it is found as a homodimer or as a tetramer with two alpha subunits and two beta subunits.
