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.

7 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.
female meiotic nuclear division A cell cycle process by which the cell nucleus divides as part of a meiotic cell cycle in the female germline.
meiotic cell cycle Progression through the phases of the meiotic cell cycle, in which canonically a cell replicates to produce four offspring with half the chromosomal content of the progenitor cell via two nuclear divisions.
protein dephosphorylation The process of removing one or more phosphoric residues from a protein.
regulation of embryonic development Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of embryonic development.
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.
wing disc development Progression of the wing disc over time, from its initial formation through to its metamorphosis to form adult structures including the wing hinge, wing blade and pleura.
