Descriptions

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase Itchy (Itch) is a HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligase that provides substrate specificity to the ubiquitylation cascade and mediates the transfer of ubiquitin to substrates. In Itch, the WW domains proceeding the catalytic HECT domain play an inhibitory role by binding directly to HECT. Binding of the Ndfip1 adaptor or JNK1-mediated phosphorylation relieves the autoinhibition of Itch.

Name Definition
cell cortex The region of a cell that lies just beneath the plasma membrane and often, but not always, contains a network of actin filaments and associated proteins.
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
cytoplasmic vesicle A vesicle found in the cytoplasm of a cell.
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
early endosome A membrane-bounded organelle that receives incoming material from primary endocytic vesicles that have been generated by clathrin-dependent and clathrin-independent endocytosis; vesicles fuse with the early endosome to deliver cargo for sorting into recycling or degradation pathways.
early endosome membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding an early endosome.
intracellular membrane-bounded organelle Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, bounded by a single or double lipid bilayer membrane and occurring within the cell. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, and vesicles. Excludes the plasma membrane.
membrane A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it an attached to it.
nucleoplasm That part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus.
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.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
protein-containing complex A stable assembly of two or more macromolecules, i.e. proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids, in which at least one component is a protein and the constituent parts function together.
ubiquitin ligase complex A protein complex that includes a ubiquitin-protein ligase and enables ubiquitin protein ligase activity. The complex also contains other proteins that may confer substrate specificity on the complex.

Name Definition
arrestin family protein binding Binding to a member of the arrestin family, proteins involved in agonist-mediated desensitization of G protein-coupled receptors.
CXCR chemokine receptor binding Binding to a chemokine receptor in the CXCR family.
ligase activity Catalysis of the joining of two molecules, or two groups within a single molecule, using the energy from the hydrolysis of ATP, a similar triphosphate, or a pH gradient.

23 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
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.
CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell proliferation The expansion of a CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell population by cell division.
defense response to virus Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a virus that act to protect the cell or organism.
innate immune response Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.
negative regulation of apoptotic process Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptotic process.
negative regulation of CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell proliferation Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell proliferation.
negative regulation of defense response to virus Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate or extent of antiviral mechanisms, thereby facilitating viral replication.
negative regulation of JNK cascade Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of signal transduction mediated by the JNK cascade.

protein K63-linked ubiquitination A protein ubiquitination process in which a polymer of ubiquitin, formed by linkages between lysine residues at position 63 of the ubiquitin monomers, is added to a protein. K63-linked ubiquitination does not target the substrate protein for degradation, but is involved in several pathways, notably as a signal to promote error-free DNA postreplication repair.
protein polyubiquitination Addition of multiple ubiquitin groups to a protein, forming a ubiquitin chain.
protein ubiquitination The process in which one or more ubiquitin groups are added to a protein.
