Guanosine-5′–triphosphate (GTP) is used as a source of energy for protein synthesis and gluconeogenesis. GTP is essential to signal transduction, in particular with G-proteins in second-messenger mechanisms where it is converted to guanosine diphosphate (GDP) through the action of GTPases.
Peptidoglycan, also known as murein, is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that form a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of all bacteria (except Mycoplasma), forming the cell wall. Uridine triphosphate (UTP), which is a pyrimidine nucleotide, has the ability to act as an energy source for the synthesis of peptidoglycan.
The phosphatidic acid is used to synthesize additional phospholipids utilizing cytidine triphosphate (CTP) as an energy source and creating a CDP-diacylglycerol molecule.
Fatty-acyl-CoA Synthase, or more commonly known as yeast fatty acid synthase, is an enzyme complex responsible for fatty acid biosynthesis
