Enables

This protein enables 7 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
mRNA regulatory element binding translation repressor activitymolecular functionAntagonizes the ribosome-mediated translation of mRNA into a polypeptide via direct binding (through a selective and non-covalent interaction) to nucleic acid. [GOC:clt, GOC:vw, PMID:29061112, PMID:7523370]
mRNA bindingmolecular functionBinding to messenger RNA (mRNA), an intermediate molecule between DNA and protein. mRNA includes UTR and coding sequences, but does not contain introns. [GOC:kmv, GOC:pr, SO:0000234]
dihydrofolate reductase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + NADP+ = 7,8-dihydrofolate + NADPH + H+. [EC:1.5.1.3]
folic acid bindingmolecular functionBinding to folic acid, pteroylglutamic acid. Folic acid is widely distributed as a member of the vitamin B complex and is essential for the synthesis of purine and pyrimidines. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0198506732]
NADPH bindingmolecular functionBinding to the reduced form, NADPH, of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, a coenzyme involved in many redox and biosynthetic reactions. [GOC:mah]
sequence-specific mRNA bindingmolecular functionBinding to messenger RNA (mRNA) of a specific nucleotide composition or a specific sequence motif. [PMID:11886857]
NADP bindingmolecular functionBinding to nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, a coenzyme involved in many redox and biosynthetic reactions; binding may be to either the oxidized form, NADP+, or the reduced form, NADPH. [GOC:ai]

This protein is involved in 11 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthetic processbiological processThe chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of tetrahydrobiopterin, the reduced form of biopterin (2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-(1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-pteridine). It functions as a hydroxylation coenzyme, e.g. in the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine. [ISBN:0198506732]
one-carbon metabolic processbiological processThe chemical reactions and pathways involving the transfer of one-carbon units in various oxidation states. [GOC:hjd, GOC:mah, GOC:pde]

response to methotrexatebiological processAny process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a methotrexate stimulus. Methotrexate is 4-amino-10-methylformic acid, a folic acid analogue that is a potent competitive inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase. [GOC:ef, GOC:mah, ISBN:0198506732]
