Descriptions

Formins are conserved actin nucleators responsible for the assembly of diverse actin structures. The autoinhibition mechanism involves the intramolecular interaction between N-terminal DID domain and C-terminal DAD domain. This interaction is disrupted by Rho GTPase that is able to bind to the DID domain. A Formin-3 DAD mutant expressed at endogenous levels produces more robust actin cables, which appear to have normal organization and dynamics.

9 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cell cortex of cell tip The region directly beneath the plasma membrane at the cell tip. The cell tip is the region at either end of the longest axis of a cylindrical or elongated cell.
cell cortex of growing cell tip Any cell cortex that is part of a growing cell tip.
cell division site The eventual plane of cell division (also known as cell cleavage or cytokinesis) in a dividing cell. In Eukaryotes, the cleavage apparatus, composed of septin structures and the actomyosin contractile ring, forms along this plane, and the mitotic, or meiotic, spindle is aligned perpendicular to the division plane. In bacteria, the cell division site is generally located at mid-cell and is the site at which the cytoskeletal structure, the Z-ring, assembles.
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
mating projection tip The apex of the mating projection in unicellular fungi exposed to mating pheromone; site of polarized growth.
medial cortex A medial cortical band overlaying the nucleus which acts as a landmark for contractile ring positioning and plays a role in cell cycle regulation.
medial cortex septin ring A ring-shaped structure that forms at the medial cortex of a symmetrically dividing cell at the onset of cytokinesis; composed of members of the conserved family of filament forming proteins called septins as well as septin-associated proteins.
mitotic actomyosin contractile ring A cytoskeletal structure composed of actin filaments, myosin, and myosin-associated proteins that forms beneath the plasma membrane of many cells, including animal cells and yeast cells, in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the mitotic spindle, i.e. the cell division plane. Ring contraction is associated with centripetal growth of the membrane that divides the cytoplasm of the two future daughter cells. In animal cells, the mitotic contractile ring is located inside the plasma membrane at the location of the cleavage furrow. In budding fungal cells, e.g. mitotic S. cerevisiae cells, the mitotic contractile ring forms beneath the plasma membrane at the mother-bud neck before mitosis.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.

Name Definition
actin binding Binding to monomeric or multimeric forms of actin, including actin filaments.
small GTPase binding Binding to a small monomeric GTPase.

11 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
actin filament bundle assembly The assembly of actin filament bundles; actin filaments are on the same axis but may be oriented with the same or opposite polarities and may be packed with different levels of tightness.
actin filament bundle organization A process that results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an actin filament bundle.
actin filament organization A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures comprising actin filaments. Includes processes that control the spatial distribution of actin filaments, such as organizing filaments into meshworks, bundles, or other structures, as by cross-linking.
actin nucleation The initial step in the formation of an actin filament, in which actin monomers combine to form a new filament. Nucleation is slow relative to the subsequent addition of more monomers to extend the filament.
barbed-end actin filament capping The binding of a protein or protein complex to the barbed (or plus) end of an actin filament, thus preventing the addition, exchange or removal of further actin subunits.
establishment or maintenance of bipolar cell polarity Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of a bipolar intracellular organization or cell growth patterns.
establishment or maintenance of cell polarity regulating cell shape Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of a polarized intracellular organization or cell growth patterns that regulate the shape of a cell.
microtubule cytoskeleton organization A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures comprising microtubules and their associated proteins.
mitotic actomyosin contractile ring assembly Any actomyosin contractile ring assembly that is involved in mitotic cytokinesis.
mitotic actomyosin contractile ring maintenance Any actomyosin contractile ring maintenance that is involved in mitotic cell cycle.
protein localization to mitotic actomyosin contractile ring Any protein localization to actomyosin contractile ring that is involved in mitotic cytokinesis.
