Descriptions

Small GTPases couple their GDP/GTP structural cycle to cytosol/membrane alternation to function as versatile molecular switches in the cell. Membrane localization of their active, GTP-bound form is pivotal to their ability to propagate information, and this requires their post-translational modification by lipids.<br>Arf GTPases are modified by a myristate attached to their N-terminus, which is shielded by intramolecular interactions in their inactive state. The myristoylated N-terminus of Arf is autoinhibitory in solution and is displaced by membranes, priming Arf GTPases for activation by their GEFs. Replacement of the N-terminal myristate by a 6xHis-tag preserves autoinhibition, representing that membranes unlock the N-terminal region to facilitate subsequent activation.

Name Definition
cell cortex The region of a cell that lies just beneath the plasma membrane and often, but not always, contains a network of actin filaments and associated proteins.
cleavage furrow The cleavage furrow is a plasma membrane invagination at the cell division site. The cleavage furrow begins as a shallow groove and eventually deepens to divide the cytoplasm.

cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
early endosome A membrane-bounded organelle that receives incoming material from primary endocytic vesicles that have been generated by clathrin-dependent and clathrin-independent endocytosis; vesicles fuse with the early endosome to deliver cargo for sorting into recycling or degradation pathways.
early endosome membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding an early endosome.
endocytic vesicle A membrane-bounded intracellular vesicle formed by invagination of the plasma membrane around an extracellular substance. Endocytic vesicles fuse with early endosomes to deliver the cargo for further sorting.

filopodium membrane The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a filopodium.
Flemming body A cell part that is the central region of the midbody characterized by a gap in alpha-tubulin staining. It is a dense structure of antiparallel microtubules from the central spindle in the middle of the intercellular bridge.
focal adhesion A cell-substrate junction that anchors the cell to the extracellular matrix and that forms a point of termination of actin filaments. In insects focal adhesion has also been referred to as hemi-adherens junction (HAJ).
glutamatergic synapse A synapse that uses glutamate as a neurotransmitter.
Golgi apparatus A membrane-bound cytoplasmic organelle of the endomembrane system that further processes the core oligosaccharides (e.g. N-glycans) added to proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and packages them into membrane-bound vesicles. The Golgi apparatus operates at the intersection of the secretory, lysosomal, and endocytic pathways.

5 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
G protein activity A molecular function regulator that cycles between active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound states. In its active state, binds to a variety of effector proteins to regulate cellular processes. Intrinsic GTPase activity returns the G protein to its GDP-bound state. The return to the GDP-bound state can be accelerated by the action of a GTPase-activating protein (GAP).
GDP binding Binding to GDP, guanosine 5'-diphosphate.
GTP binding Binding to GTP, guanosine triphosphate.
signaling adaptor activity The binding activity of a molecule that brings together two or more molecules in a signaling pathway, permitting those molecules to function in a coordinated way. Adaptor molecules themselves do not have catalytic activity.
thioesterase binding Binding to a thioesterase.
