PW126596 View Pathway	drug action Acyclovir Action Pathway (New) Homo sapiens Acyclovir is a guanosine analog used to treat herpes simplex, varicella zoster, herpes zoster, herpes labialis, and acute herpetic keratitis. Acyclovir is becomes acyclovir monophosphate due to the action of viral thymidine kinase.5 Acyclovir monophosphate is converted to the diphosphate form by guanylate kinase.1 Acyclovir diphosphate is converted to acyclovir triphosphate by nucleoside diphosphate kinase, pyruvate kinase, creatine kinase, phosphoglycerate kinase, succinyl-CoA synthetase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and adenylosuccinate synthetase. Acyclovir triphosphate inhibits the activity of DNA polymerase by competing with its substrate dGTP. Acyclovir triphosphate also gets incorporated into viral DNA, but since it lacks the 3'-OH group which is needed to form the 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage essential for DNA chain elongation, this causes DNA chain termination, preventing the growth of viral DNA. Less Viral DNA is transported into the nucleus, therefore, less viral DNA is integrated into the host DNA. Less viral proteins produced, fewer viruses can form.

PW000174 View Pathway	disease Acute Intermittent Porphyria Homo sapiens Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), also called Swedish porphyria, is a rare inborn error of metabolism (IEM) and autosomal dominant disorder of heme biosynthesis caused by a defective HMBS gene. The HMBS gene codes for the protein hydroxymethylbilane synthase (porphobilinogen deaminase) which catalyzes the synthesis of porphobilinogen into hydroxymethylbilane. This disorder is characterized by a large accumulation of 5-aminolevulinic acid or porphobilinogen in both urine and serum. Most patients are asymptomatic between attacks. Symptoms of the disorder include abdominal pain, constipation, vomiting, hypertension, muscle weakness, seizures, delirium, coma, and depression. Treatment involves undertaking a high-carbohydrate diet and, during severe attacks, a glucose 10% infusion. It is estimated that AIP affects 5.9 per 1 000 000 people.

PW109032 View Pathway	signaling Activation of PKC Through G Protein-Coupled Receptor Mus musculus G protein-coupled receptors sense stimuli outside the cell and transmit signals across the plasma membrane. Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) is one of the common signaling pathways. When a class of GPCRs are activated by a ligand, they activate Gq protein to bind GTP instead of GDP. After the Gq becomes active, it activates phospholipase C (PLC) to cleave the membrane lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) into inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacyl glycerol (DAG). IP3 can bind Ins3P receptor to open calcium channel by diffusion from cytoplasm to ER. Activated calcium channel will release the calcium from ER into cytoplasm. Calcium can activate the kinase activity of PKC. BioPAX SVG SBGN SBML PWML All files (.zip)	Creator: Ana Marcu Created On: August 31, 2018 at 11:44 Last Updated: August 31, 2018 at 11:44
