Interaction with pathway

Active site directed P-lactam-derived inhibitors have a competitive component of inhibition, but once in the active site they form an acyl en2yme species which follows one or more of the pathways outlined in Figure 1. Compounds that foUow Route C and form a transiendy inhibited en2yme species and are subsequendy hydroly2ed to products have been termed inhibitory substrates or competitive substrates. Inhibitors that give irreversibly inactivated P-lactamase (Route A) are called suicide inactivators or irreversible inhibitors. The term progressive inhibitor has also been used. An excellent review has appeared on inhibitor interactions with P-lactamases (28). 

Factor IX. This factor is dependent on the presence of vitamin K for its activity as a biologicaUy functional procoagulant glycoprotein. Factor IX is converted to its active form by XIa in the classic scheme of the intrinsic pathway. However, it can also be activated via interaction with Factor Xa or the complex Factor III plus Factor VII in the presence of calcium. 

The indirect pathway by which air pollutants interact with plants is through the root system. Deposition of air pollutants on soils and surface waters can cause alteration of the nutrient content of the soil in the vicinity of the plant. This change in soil condition can lead to indirect or secondary effects of air pollutants on vegetation and plants. 

Adaptor proteins are multi-domain proteins (Fig. 1) that interact with components of signaling pathways [1]. As a consequence of these interactions, adaptor proteins are able to regulate signaling events within the cell, providing spatiotemporal control and specificity, and influencing how a cell responds to a particular stimulus. 

Grb-2 facilitates the transduction of an extracellular stimulus to an intracellular signaling pathway, (b) The adaptor protein PSD-95 associates through one of its three PDZ domains with the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor. Another PDZ domain associates with a PDZ domain from neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). Through its interaction with PSD-95, nNOS is localized to the NMDA receptor. Stimulation by glutamate induces an influx of calcium, which activates nNOS, resulting in the production of nitric oxide. 

The other pathway is triggered when so-called BH3-only proteins interact with other members of the Bcl-... 

Another pathway of influence in AD is the facilitation of amyloid- 3 (A 3) aggregation through an interaction with the PAS of AChE but not of BChE. Inversely, the usual BChE (and more specifically its C-terminus) was shown recently as to attenuate in vitro the formation of amyloid fibrils [4].
