defense response to Gram-positive bacteria

defence response to Gram-positive bacteria

Reactions triggered in response to the presence of Gram-positive bacteria that act to protect the cell or organism.

The process by which glucose is oxidized, coupled to NADPH synthesis. Glucose 6-P is oxidized with the formation of carbon dioxide (CO2), ribulose 5-phosphate and reduced NADP; ribulose 5-P then enters a series of reactions interconverting sugar phosphates. The pentose phosphate pathway is a major source of reducing equivalents for biosynthesis reactions and is also important for the conversion of hexoses to pentoses.

A nearly universal metabolic pathway in which the acetyl group of acetyl coenzyme A is effectively oxidized to two C02 and four pairs of electrons are transferred to coenzymes. The acetyl group combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate, which undergoes successive transformations to isocitrate, 2-oxoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, succinate, fumarate, malate, and oxaloacetate again, thus completing the cycle. In eukaryotes the tricarboxylic acid is confined to the mitochondria. See also glyoxylate cycle.

Catalysis of the reaction: L-glutamate = 4-aminobutanoate + CO2.

Reactions triggered in response to the presence of fungi that act to protect the cell or organism.

Enables the directed movement of pyruvate, 2-oxopropanoate, into, out of, within or between cells.

Catalysis of the reaction: L-glutamate + H2O + NAD(P)+ = 2-oxoglutarate + NH3 + NAD(P)H + H+.

The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, as opposed to cell growth.

Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + L-glutamate + NH3 = ADP + phosphate + L-glutamine.

A complex having histone acetylase activity on chromatin, as well as ATPase, DNA helicase and structural DNA binding activities. The complex is thought to be involved in double-strand DNA break repair. Subunits of the human complex include HTATIP/TIP60, TRRAP, RUVBL1, BUVBL2, beta-actin and BAF53/ACTL6A.

Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + L-glutamate + L-cysteine = ADP + phosphate + gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteine.
