Descriptions

Engulfment and cell motility (ELMO) proteins bind a subset of DOCK members and act as critical regulators of Rac signaling. Although formation of a DOCK180/ELMO complex is not essential for Rac1 activation, ELMO mutants deficient in binding to DOCK180 are unable to promote cytoskeleton remodeling. ELMO facilitates the co-localization of DOCK180 and Rac at the membrane and therefore indirectly endorses the Rac GEF activity of this complex. ELMO is autoinhibited via an intramolecular interaction between the N-terminal Armadillo repeats (ARMs, renamed ELMO Inhibitory Domain (EID)) and the C-terminal region termed the ELMO Autoregulatory Domain (EAD). Relief of ELMO autoinhibition occurs through cell stimulation and ELMO Ras-binding domain (RBD) engagement (via a GTPase or other unknown binding partner). Cell stimulation leads to ELMO conformational changes that facilitate DOCK180/ELMO interactions, which in turn enhances the Rac GEF activity in DOCK180.

4 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
actin filament organization A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures comprising actin filaments. Includes processes that control the spatial distribution of actin filaments, such as organizing filaments into meshworks, bundles, or other structures, as by cross-linking.
apoptotic process A programmed cell death process which begins when a cell receives an internal (e.g. DNA damage) or external signal (e.g. an extracellular death ligand), and proceeds through a series of biochemical events (signaling pathway phase) which trigger an execution phase. The execution phase is the last step of an apoptotic process, and is typically characterized by rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), plasma membrane blebbing and fragmentation of the cell into apoptotic bodies. When the execution phase is completed, the cell has died.
cell motility Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another.
phagocytosis A vesicle-mediated transport process that results in the engulfment of external particulate material by phagocytes and their delivery to the lysosome. The particles are initially contained within phagocytic vacuoles (phagosomes), which then fuse with primary lysosomes to effect digestion of the particles.
