Description

Current Topics in Cellular Regulation, Volume 8 presents the fundamental mechanisms involved in the regulation of diverse cellular activities, including cellular differentiation, intermediary metabolism, and the transfer of genetic information. This book provides information pertinent to the various aspects of cellular regulation. Organized into seven chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the roles of multiple protein factors in the conversion of chitin synthetase zymogen to its catalytically active form. This text then examines the mechanisms that underlie differential metabolic control of the diverse functions of glucose-6-phosphatase. Other chapters consider the results of studies in Klebsiella aerogenes. This book discusses as well the physical–chemical properties of the enzymes from animals and bacteria. The final chapter deals with the mechanisms of regulating lipogenesis in animal tissues, the deamidation of glutamyl and asparaginyl residues in peptides and proteins. This book is a valuable resource for biochemists, biologists, and research workers.
