Descriptions

PRKCA encodes for Protein kinase C (PKC) alpha type belonging to the PCKs family and is involved in various cellular processes, including cell growth, immune response, muscle contraction, and synaptic plasticity. A well-known autoinhibitory region of the PKC family is a pseudosubstrate sequence at residues 1-30 that directly interacts with and blocks the catalytic activity of the kinase domain. Subsequences of the pseudosubstrate region are the C1 domains (C1A and C1B that bind diacylglycerol (DAG)), and the C2 domain (which binds to anionic phospholipids in a Ca2+-dependent manner). The C1A (residues 31-100) domain coordinates a network of domain-domain intramolecular interactions, including direct C1A-C2 contacts. The pseudosubstrate and C1A domains function as a single functional unit and are required to maintain autoinhibition. Additionally, the absence of the C1A domain significantly increases basal activity.

12 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
calyx of Held The terminal specialization of a calyciferous axon which forms large synapses in the mammalian auditory central nervous system.
cell-cell junction A cell junction that forms a connection between two or more cells of an organism; excludes direct cytoplasmic intercellular bridges, such as ring canals in insects.
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.
dendrite A neuron projection that has a short, tapering, morphology. Dendrites receive and integrate signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conduct nerve impulses towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body.
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
perinuclear region of cytoplasm Cytoplasm situated near, or occurring around, the nucleus.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
postsynaptic cytosol The region of the cytosol consisting of all cytosol that is part of the postsynapse.
postsynaptic density An electron dense network of proteins within and adjacent to the postsynaptic membrane of an asymmetric, neuron-neuron synapse. Its major components include neurotransmitter receptors and the proteins that spatially and functionally organize them such as anchoring and scaffolding molecules, signaling enzymes and cytoskeletal components.
presynaptic cytosol The region of the cytosol consisting of all cytosol that is part of the presynapse.
synaptic membrane A specialized area of membrane on either the presynaptic or the postsynaptic side of a synapse, the junction between a nerve fiber of one neuron and another neuron or muscle fiber or glial cell.

21 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
chemical synaptic transmission The vesicular release of classical neurotransmitter molecules from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of neurotransmitter receptors at the postsynapse of a target cell (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) and the effects of this activation on the postsynaptic membrane potential and ionic composition of the postsynaptic cytosol. This process encompasses both spontaneous and evoked release of neurotransmitter and all parts of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Evoked transmission starts with the arrival of an action potential at the presynapse.
chemosensory behavior Behavior that is dependent upon the sensation of chemicals.
innervation The process in which a nerve invades a tissue and makes functional synaptic connection within the tissue.
intracellular signal transduction The process in which a signal is passed on to downstream components within the cell, which become activated themselves to further propagate the signal and finally trigger a change in the function or state of the cell.
learning or memory The acquisition and processing of information and/or the storage and retrieval of this information over time.
long-term synaptic potentiation A process that modulates synaptic plasticity such that synapses are changed resulting in the increase in the rate, or frequency of synaptic transmission at the synapse.
negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptotic process in neurons.
negative regulation of proteasomal protein catabolic process Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of proteasomal protein catabolic process.
negative regulation of protein ubiquitination Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the addition of ubiquitin groups to a protein.
phosphorylation The process of introducing a phosphate group into a molecule, usually with the formation of a phosphoric ester, a phosphoric anhydride or a phosphoric amide.
positive regulation of mismatch repair Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of mismatch repair.
presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission Any process, acting in the presynapse that results in modulation of chemical synaptic transmission.
regulation of circadian rhythm Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a circadian rhythm. A circadian rhythm is a biological process in an organism that recurs with a regularity of approximately 24 hours.
regulation of phagocytosis Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of phagocytosis, the process in which phagocytes engulf external particulate material.
regulation of response to food Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a response to a food stimulus.
regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of synaptic vesicle exocytosis.
response to morphine 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 morphine stimulus. Morphine is an opioid alkaloid, isolated from opium, with a complex ring structure.
response to pain 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 pain stimulus. Pain stimuli cause activation of nociceptors, peripheral receptors for pain, include receptors which are sensitive to painful mechanical stimuli, extreme heat or cold, and chemical stimuli.
response to psychosocial stress 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 exposure to aversive or demanding psychological and social conditions that tax or exceed the behavioral resources of the organism.
response to toxic substance 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 toxic stimulus.
rhythmic process Any process pertinent to the generation and maintenance of rhythms in the physiology of an organism.
