Descriptions

Cytohesin-3 (CYTH3) promotes guanine-nucleotide exchange on Arf1 and Arf6. Cytohesins share a modular architecture consisting of heptad repeats, a Sec7 domain with exchange activity for Arf1 and Arf6, a PH domain that binds phosphatidylinositol (PI) polyphosphates, and a C-terminal helix (CtH) that overlaps with a polybasic region (PBR). Cytohesins are autoinhibited by the Sec7-PH linker (252-264) and CtH/PBR (380-399), which obstruct substrate binding. The autoinhibition can be relieved by Arf6-GTP binding in the presence of the PIP3 head group.

Subcellular Localization
  • Cell membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein
  • Cytoplasm
  • Cell projection
  • Cell projection, growth cone
  • Cell junction, tight junction
  • Cell junction, adherens junction
  • Recruited to the cell membrane through its association with ARL4A, ARL4C and ARL4D

9 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.
extrinsic component of postsynaptic specialization membrane The component of the postsynaptic specialization membrane consisting of gene products and protein complexes that are loosely bound to one of its surfaces, but not integrated into the hydrophobic region.
glutamatergic synapse A synapse that uses glutamate as a neurotransmitter.
growth cone The migrating motile tip of a growing neuron projection, where actin accumulates, and the actin cytoskeleton is the most dynamic.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
postsynapse The part of a synapse that is part of the post-synaptic cell.
ruffle Projection at the leading edge of a crawling cell; the protrusions are supported by a microfilament meshwork.

3 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.
inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate binding Binding to inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate.
lipid binding Binding to a lipid.

2 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
negative regulation of dendrite development Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of dendrite development.
regulation of ARF protein signal transduction Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of ARF protein signal transduction.
