Descriptions

Calcium-dependent, calmodulin-stimulated protein phosphatase calcineurin (CN) plays a role in the transduction of intracellular Ca2+-dependent signals. CN is a heterodimer composed of a catalytic subunit A (CNA) and an essential regulatory subunit B (CNB). <br>CNA contains two autoinhibitory regions, which interfere with the function of the catalytic domain: autoinhibitory segment (AIS) and autoinhibitory domain (AID). The AIS interacts with a hydrophobic intersubunit groove formed at the junction of CNA and CNB, and disruption of the AIS interaction results in partial stimulation of CN activity. In addition, the binding partner calmodulin regulates the orientation of AID with respect to the catalytic core, resulting in incomplete activation of CN.

3 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
calcineurin complex A heterodimeric calcium ion and calmodulin dependent protein phosphatase composed of catalytic and regulatory subunits; the regulatory subunit is very similar in sequence to calmodulin.
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
synaptic vesicle A secretory organelle, typically 50 nm in diameter, of presynaptic nerve terminals; accumulates in high concentrations of neurotransmitters and secretes these into the synaptic cleft by fusion with the 'active zone' of the presynaptic plasma membrane.

8 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
calcineurin-mediated signaling Any intracellular signal transduction in which the signal is passed on within the cell by activation of a transcription factor as a consequence of dephosphorylation by Ca(2+)-activated calcineurin. The process begins with calcium-dependent activation of the phosphatase calcineurin. Calcineurin is a calcium- and calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine protein phosphatase with a conserved function in eukaryotic species from yeast to humans. In yeast and fungi, calcineurin regulates stress signaling and cell cycle, and sporulation and virulence in pathogenic fungi. In metazoans, calcineurin is involved in cell commitment, organogenesis and organ development and immune function of T-lymphocytes. By a conserved mechanism, calcineurin phosphatase activates fungal Crz1 and mammalian NFATc by dephosphorylation and translocation of these transcription factors to the nucleus to regulate gene expression.
medium-term memory The memory process that deals with the storage, retrieval and modification of information received at a time ago that is intermediate between that of short and long term memory (30min - 7hrs in Drosophila melanogaster).
negative regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway activity.
protein dephosphorylation The process of removing one or more phosphoric residues from a protein.
regulation of innate immune response Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the innate immune response, the organism's first line of defense against infection.
response to Gram-negative bacterium Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus from a Gram-negative bacterium.
response to nitric oxide Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a nitric oxide stimulus.
sleep Any process in which an organism enters and maintains a periodic, readily reversible state of reduced awareness and metabolic activity. Usually accompanied by physical relaxation, the onset of sleep in humans and other mammals is marked by a change in the electrical activity of the brain.
