FloraRankFlora DefinitionFamilyFamily Definition
CodongenusA set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).[MeSH]BoraginaceaeThe Borage plant family is in the class Magnoliopsida, subclass Asteridae, order Lamiales. It is characterized by hairy foliage, usually alternate and simple; flowers are funnel-shaped or tubular. Some of the species contain PYRROLIZIDINE ALKALOIDS.[MeSH]

Research Excerpts

Overview

Pyrrolysine is a lysine derivative encoded by the UAG codon in methylamine methyltransferase genes of Methanosarcina barkeri.

Effects

Pyrrolysine has the structure of lysine with the (epsilon)N in amide linkage with a pyrroline ring. It has entered natural genetic codes by the translation of UAG.

Drug Classes (4)

ClassDescription
amino acid zwitterionThe zwitterionic form of an amino acid having a negatively charged carboxyl group and a positively charged amino group.
proteinogenic amino acidAny of the 23 alpha-amino acids that are precursors to proteins, and are incorporated into proteins during translation. The group includes the 20 amino acids encoded by the nuclear genes of eukaryotes together with selenocysteine, pyrrolysine, and N-formylmethionine. Apart from glycine, which is non-chiral, all have L configuration.
N(6)-acyl-L-lysineAny N-acyl-L-alpha-amino acid that is L-lysine in which the N(6) amino group has been acylated.
pyrrolysineAn N-acyl-amino acid that is lysine in which one of the amino nitrogens at position N6 is replaced by a 3-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole-2-carbonyl group.
