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.

6 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.
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
ruffle Projection at the leading edge of a crawling cell; the protrusions are supported by a microfilament meshwork.

2 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.
phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate binding Binding to phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate, a derivative of phosphatidylinositol in which the inositol ring is phosphorylated at the 3', 4' and 5' positions.

4 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
establishment of epithelial cell polarity The specification and formation of anisotropic intracellular organization of an epithelial cell.
Golgi vesicle transport The directed movement of substances into, out of or within the Golgi apparatus, mediated by vesicles.
positive regulation of cell adhesion Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell adhesion.
regulation of ARF protein signal transduction Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of ARF protein signal transduction.
