Descriptions

Farp2 is a Dbl-family quinine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that contains a 4.1, ezrin, radixin and moesin (FERM) domain, a Dbl-homology (DH) domain and two pleckstrin homology (PH) domains. Farp2 activates Rac1 or Cdc42 in response to upstream signals, thereby regulating neuronal axon guidance and bone homeostasis. The GEF substrate-binding site is blocked collectively by the last helix (Helix α6, 727-745, pseudosubstrate-like interaction) in the DH domain and the two PH domains (760-1025). Helix α6 and PH2 domain each can independently inhibit GEF activity of FARP2, and full activation of FARP2 requires releasing of both these two inhibitory elements. FARP2 activation involves membrane localization, binding of activators and tyrosine phosphorylation.

3 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
cytoskeleton A cellular structure that forms the internal framework of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. The cytoskeleton includes intermediate filaments, microfilaments, microtubules, the microtrabecular lattice, and other structures characterized by a polymeric filamentous nature and long-range order within the cell. The various elements of the cytoskeleton not only serve in the maintenance of cellular shape but also have roles in other cellular functions, including cellular movement, cell division, endocytosis, and movement of organelles.
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.

2 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
cytoskeletal protein binding Binding to a protein component of a cytoskeleton (actin, microtubule, or intermediate filament cytoskeleton).
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.

9 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
actin cytoskeleton reorganization A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in dynamic structural changes to the arrangement of constituent parts of cytoskeletal structures comprising actin filaments and their associated proteins.
cell adhesion The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules.
hair cycle process A multicellular organismal process involved in the cyclical phases of growth (anagen), regression (catagen), quiescence (telogen), and shedding (exogen) in the life of a hair; one of the collection or mass of filaments growing from the skin of an animal, and forming a covering for a part of the head or for any part or the whole of the body.
neuron remodeling The developmentally regulated remodeling of neuronal projections such as pruning to eliminate the extra dendrites and axons projections set up in early stages of nervous system development.
osteoclast differentiation The process in which a relatively unspecialized monocyte acquires the specialized features of an osteoclast. An osteoclast is a specialized phagocytic cell associated with the absorption and removal of the mineralized matrix of bone tissue.
podosome assembly The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a podosome, an actin-rich adhesion structure characterized by formation upon cell substrate contact and localization at the substrate-attached part of the cell.
Rac protein signal transduction The series of molecular signals within the cell that are mediated by a member of the Rac family of proteins switching to a GTP-bound active state.
regulation of integrin activation Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of integrin activation.
semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of a semaphorin receptor (composed of a plexin and a neurophilin) binding to a semaphorin ligand.
