Biosystems Cysteine etc methylation in Zebrafish

Pulled proteins and a subset of nucleotides.

Nucleotides were harder, basically viewed proteins, related nucleotides, filter to mRNA - 42 nucleotide seuquences

Cysteine is synthesized from serine through different pathways in different organism groups. In bacteria and plants, cysteine is converted from serine (via acetylserine) by transfer of hydrogen sulfide [MD:M00032]. In animals, methionine-derived homocysteine is used as sulfur source and its condensation product with serine (cystathionine) is converted to cysteine [MD:M00719]. Cysteine is metabolized to pyruvate in multiple routes [MD:M00062 M00063 M00064]. Methionine is an essential amino acid, which animals cannot synthesize. In bacteria more...

ceramide biosynthesis

Type : conserved biosystem

Description : Ceramide receives a lot of attention as a potential endogenous mediator of apoptosis in response to cytokines, antigens, anticancer drugs, or environmental stress inducers |CITS: [10652518]|. These diverse stimuli can induce sphingomyelin hydrolysis accompanied by the accumulation of ceramide, which occurs before morphological changes. In addition, administration of exogenous ceramide analogs can mimic apoptotic cell death. These observations led to the proposal that ceramide has a key role in apoptosis signaling |CITS: [12531549]|.
