Adenosine 3',5'-diphosphate
Adenosine-3-5-diphosphate, also known as 3-phosphoadenylate or pap, is a member of the class of compounds known as purine ribonucleoside 3,5-bisphosphates. Purine ribonucleoside 3,5-bisphosphates are purine ribobucleotides with one phosphate group attached to 3 and 5 hydroxyl groups of the ribose moiety. Adenosine-3-5-diphosphate is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). Adenosine-3-5-diphosphate can be found in a number of food items such as beech nut, canola, chickpea, and red algae, which makes adenosine-3-5-diphosphate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Adenosine-3-5-diphosphate can be found primarily in cellular cytoplasm, as well as in human brain and liver tissues. Adenosine-3-5-diphosphate exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, adenosine-3-5-diphosphate is involved in several metabolic pathways, some of which include acetaminophen metabolism pathway, tamoxifen action pathway, androgen and estrogen metabolism, and metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD). Adenosine-3-5-diphosphate is also involved in several metabolic disorders, some of which include gaucher disease, krabbe disease, fabry disease, and 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase III deficiency. Adenosine 3, 5-diphosphate or PAP is a nucleotide that is closely related to ADP. It has two phosphate groups attached to the 5 and 3 positions of the pentose sugar ribose (instead of pyrophosphoric acid at the 5 position, as found in ADP), and the nucleobase adenine. PAP is converted to PAPS by Sulfotransferase and then back to PAP after the sulfotransferase reaction. Sulfotransferase (STs) catalyze the transfer reaction of the sulfate group from the ubiquitous donor 3-phosphoadenosine 5-phosphosulfate (PAPS) to an acceptor group of numerous substrates. This reaction, often referred to as sulfuryl transfer, sulfation, or sulfonation, is widely observed from bacteria to humans and plays a key role in various biological processes such as cell communication, growth and development, and defense. PAP also appears to a role in bipolar depression. Phosphatases converting 3-phosphoadenosine 5-phosphate (PAP) into adenosine 5-phosphate are of fundamental importance in living cells as the accumulation of PAP is toxic to several cellular systems. These enzymes are lithium-sensitive and we have characterized a human PAP phosphatase as a potential target of lithium therapy.
Nitrite
Nitrite is a nitrite compound is either a salt or an ester of nitrous acid. Sodium nitrite is used for the curing of meat because it prevents bacterial growth and, in a reaction with the meats myoglobin, gives the product a desirable dark red color. Nitrite can be reduced to nitric oxide or ammonia by many species of bacteria. Under hypoxic conditions, nitrite may release nitric oxide, which causes potent vasodilation. Several mechanisms for nitrite conversion to NO have been described including enzymatic reduction by xanthine oxidoreductase, the mitochondria, and NO synthase (NOS), as well as nonenzymatic acidic disproportionation. -- Wikipedia.
