Descriptions
Cyth3 regulates membrane trafficking and actin dynamics. Sec7-PH tandem reveals a pseudosubstrate mechanism of autoinhibition in which the linker region between domains and a C-terminal amphipathic helix physically block the docking sites for the switch regions of Arf GTPases. Truncation of the polybasic motif (383-395) increases the activity of Cyth3 by 20- to 100-fold. The deletion of the Sec-PH linker region (251-265) also increases the Cyth3 activity.

8 GO annotations of cellular component
Name | Definition |
---|---|
adherens junction | A cell-cell junction composed of the epithelial cadherin-catenin complex. The epithelial cadherins, or E-cadherins, of each interacting cell extend through the plasma membrane into the extracellular space and bind to each other. The E-cadherins bind to catenins on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane, where the E-cadherin-catenin complex binds to cytoskeletal components and regulatory and signaling molecules. |
bicellular tight junction | An occluding cell-cell junction that is composed of a branching network of sealing strands that completely encircles the apical end of each cell in an epithelial sheet; the outer leaflets of the two interacting plasma membranes are seen to be tightly apposed where sealing strands are present. Each sealing strand is composed of a long row of transmembrane adhesion proteins embedded in each of the two interacting plasma membranes. |
cytoplasm | The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
cytosol | The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. |
extrinsic component of cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane | The component of a plasma membrane consisting of gene products and protein complexes that are loosely bound to its cytoplasmic surface, but not integrated into the hydrophobic region. |
nucleoplasm | That part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus. |
plasma membrane | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. |
ruffle | Projection at the leading edge of a crawling cell; the protrusions are supported by a microfilament meshwork. |
2 GO annotations of molecular function
Name | Definition |
---|---|
guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity | Stimulates the exchange of GDP to GTP on a signaling GTPase, changing its conformation to its active form. Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) act by stimulating the release of guanosine diphosphate (GDP) to allow binding of guanosine triphosphate (GTP), which is more abundant in the cell under normal cellular physiological conditions. |
phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate binding | Binding to phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate, a derivative of phosphatidylinositol in which the inositol ring is phosphorylated at the 3', 4' and 5' positions. |
4 GO annotations of biological process

establishment of epithelial cell polarity | The specification and formation of anisotropic intracellular organization of an epithelial cell. |
Golgi vesicle transport | The directed movement of substances into, out of or within the Golgi apparatus, mediated by vesicles. |
positive regulation of cell adhesion | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell adhesion. |
regulation of ARF protein signal transduction | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of ARF protein signal transduction. |
