Descriptions

PLCε is a critical regulator of calcium and DAG-dependent signaling in the cardiovascular system, where changes in its expression and/or aberrant activation result in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. PLCε shares four core domains common to most PLCs, including a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, followed by four tandem EF hand repeats (EF1-4), the catalytic TIM barrel domain (split by an autoregulatory X-Y linker), and a C2 domain. In PLCε, these core domains are flanked by regions that confer responsiveness to different signal transduction pathways. The N-terminal region contains a CDC25 domain that acts as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for the Rap1A GTPase. This domain is essential for sustained PI hydrolysis at the perinuclear and Golgi membranes in cardiomyocytes. The C-terminal region contains two Ras association (RA) domains (RA1 and RA2) that bind activated Rap1A and Ras. PLCε is present predominantly in the cytoplasm, and is maintained in a low-activity state by the autoinhibitory X-Y linker and the C2-RA1 linker. Localization of PLCε to the perinuclear membrane through interactions between the RA1 domain and the scaffolding protein mAKAP increases lipase activity. RA1 binding to mAKAP could alter the conformation of, or displace, the C2-RA1 linker, increasing basal activity. Membrane association would also increase basal activity via interfacial activation, which may be facilitated by interactions between the αx-y helix and the membrane or, alternatively, with other domain in PLCε or proteins at the target membrane, such as activated Rap1A.

4 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
Golgi membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding any of the compartments of the Golgi apparatus.
lamellipodium A thin sheetlike process extended by the leading edge of a migrating cell or extending cell process; contains a dense meshwork of actin filaments.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.

6 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
enzyme binding Binding to an enzyme, a protein with catalytic activity.
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.
metal ion binding Binding to a metal ion.
phosphatidylinositol phospholipase C activity Catalysis of the reaction
phospholipase C activity Catalysis of the reaction
small GTPase binding Binding to a small monomeric GTPase.

14 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
diacylglycerol biosynthetic process The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of diacylglycerol, a glyceride in which any two of the R groups (positions not specified) are acyl groups while the remaining R group can be either H or an alkyl group.
epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway The series of molecular signals initiated by binding of a ligand to the tyrosine kinase receptor EGFR (ERBB1) on the surface of a cell. The pathway ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.
G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway The series of molecular signals initiated by a ligand binding to its receptor, in which the activated receptor promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The GTP-bound activated alpha-G-protein then dissociates from the beta- and gamma-subunits to further transmit the signal within the cell. The pathway begins with receptor-ligand interaction, and ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process. The pathway can start from the plasma membrane, Golgi or nuclear membrane.
glomerulus development The progression of the glomerulus over time from its initial formation until its mature state. The glomerulus is a capillary tuft which forms a close network with the visceral epithelium (podocytes) and the mesangium to form the filtration barrier and is surrounded by Bowman's capsule in nephrons of the vertebrate kidney. The glomerulus is part of the nephron and is restricted to one body segment.
lipid catabolic process The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of lipids, compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent.
phosphatidylinositol-mediated signaling The series of molecular signals in which a cell uses a phosphatidylinositol-mediated signaling to convert a signal into a response. Phosphatidylinositols include phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) and its phosphorylated derivatives.
phospholipase C-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway A G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway in which the signal is transmitted via the activation of phospholipase C (PLC) and a subsequent increase in the intracellular concentration of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG).
positive regulation of lamellipodium assembly Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of the formation of a lamellipodium, a thin sheetlike extension of the surface of a migrating cell.
positive regulation of MAPK cascade Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of signal transduction mediated by the MAPK cascade.
Ras protein signal transduction The series of molecular signals within the cell that are mediated by a member of the Ras superfamily of proteins switching to a GTP-bound active state.
regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway.
regulation of protein kinase activity Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of protein kinase activity.
regulation of Ras protein signal transduction Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of Ras protein signal transduction.
