Descriptions

The UNC5 family proteins, initially discovered in C. elegans as an axonal guidance transmembrane receptor. The cytoplasmic domains of UNC5b are responsible for its netrin-mediated signaling events in axonal migrations, blood vessel patterning, and apoptosis. The domain organization pattern of the cytoplasmic portion of UNC5 (i.e., ZU5-UPA-DD) is also found in ankyrins, a large family of scaffold proteins responsible for the assembly of specialized membrane microdomain structures that contain ion channels, cell adhesion molecules, and cytoskeletons in diverse cells. <br>The three domains (ZU5, UPA, and DD) form a structural supramoldule, thereby locking the ZU5-UPA-DD supramodule in a closed conformation and suppressing the biological activity of UNC5b. Release of the closed conformation of the ZU5-UPA-DD supramodule leads to the activation of the receptor in the promotion of apoptosis and blood vessel patterning.

1 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition

5 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.
axon guidance The chemotaxis process that directs the migration of an axon growth cone to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues.
cell-cell adhesion via plasma-membrane adhesion molecules The attachment of one cell to another cell via adhesion molecules that are at least partially embedded in the plasma membrane.
pyramidal neuron differentiation The process in which a neuroblast or one of its progeny commits to a pyramidal neuron fate, migrates from the ventricular zone to the appropriate layer in the cortex and develops into a mature neuron.
regulation of neuron migration Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of neuron migration.
