Descriptions

E3 ligases mediate the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to target proteins thereby enabling ubiquitin dependent signaling. Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 2 (BIRC2) protein is an E3 ligase that modulates diverse biological processes such as cell survival, proliferation, and migration. Full-length BIRC2 fails to associate with E2, but CARD-deleted mutant BIRC2 readily interacts with E2. The CARD inhibits activation of BIRC2’s E3 activity by preventing RING dimerization, E2 binding, and E2 activation. In addition, BIRC2 lacking only the BIR3 domain readily associates with the E2, representing that the CARD and BIR3 domains are both required for inhibition of E3 activity of BIRC2.

3 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
protein-containing complex A stable assembly of two or more macromolecules, i.e. proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids, in which at least one component is a protein and the constituent parts function together.

4 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity involved in apoptotic process Binds to and stops, prevents or reduces the activity of a cysteine-type endopeptidase involved in the apoptotic process.
metal ion binding Binding to a metal ion.
protein-containing complex binding Binding to a macromolecular complex.
ubiquitin protein ligase activity Catalysis of the transfer of ubiquitin to a substrate protein via the reaction X-ubiquitin + S -> X + S-ubiquitin, where X is either an E2 or E3 enzyme, the X-ubiquitin linkage is a thioester bond, and the S-ubiquitin linkage is an amide bond

11 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
apoptotic process A programmed cell death process which begins when a cell receives an internal (e.g. DNA damage) or external signal (e.g. an extracellular death ligand), and proceeds through a series of biochemical events (signaling pathway phase) which trigger an execution phase. The execution phase is the last step of an apoptotic process, and is typically characterized by rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), plasma membrane blebbing and fragmentation of the cell into apoptotic bodies. When the execution phase is completed, the cell has died.
cellular response to tumor necrosis factor Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a tumor necrosis factor stimulus.
necroptotic process A programmed necrotic cell death process which begins when a cell receives a signal (e.g. a ligand binding to a death receptor or to a Toll-like receptor), and proceeds through a series of biochemical events (signaling pathways), characterized by activation of receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 and/or 3 (RIPK1/3, also called RIP1/3) and by critical dependence on mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL), and which typically lead to common morphological features of necrotic cell death. The process ends when the cell has died. The process is divided into a signaling phase, and an execution phase, which is triggered by the former.
negative regulation of apoptotic process Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptotic process.
negative regulation of necroptotic process Any process that decreases the rate, frequency or extent of a necroptotic process, a necrotic cell death process that results from the activation of endogenous cellular processes, such as signaling involving death domain receptors or Toll-like receptors.
negative regulation of phosphorylation Any process that stops, prevents or decreases the rate of addition of phosphate groups to a molecule.
negative regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolic process Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of reactive oxygen species metabolic process.
positive regulation of protein polyubiquitination Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of protein polyubiquitination.
positive regulation of protein ubiquitination Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the addition of ubiquitin groups to a protein.
regulation of cell cycle Any process that modulates the rate or extent of progression through the cell cycle.
regulation of non-canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of NIK/NF-kappaB signaling.
