Descriptions

Caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 9 (CARD9) is an adaptor protein that signals downstream of ITAM-containing receptors in myeloid cells. It is implicated in antifungal defense, with at least 24 known loss-of-function mutations that lead to increased susceptibility to fungal infections. CARD9 autoinhibition is mediated by the interactions between the coiled-coil 1 (CC1) domain, the linker region, and the CARD domain. This interaction is disrupted by phosphorylation at S104, which is critical for activation and subsequent inflammatory response signaling through filamentation and assembly of the CARD9-BCL10-MALT1 complex.

3 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
CBM complex A protein complex comprising Bcl10, MALT1 and a CARD domain-containing protein (CARD9, CARD10 or CARD11); plays a role in signal transduction during NF-kappaB activation.
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
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.

4 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
CARD domain binding Binding to a CARD (N-terminal caspase recruitment) domain, a protein-protein interaction domain that belongs to the death domain-fold superfamily. These protein molecule families are similar in structure with each consisting of six or seven anti-parallel alpha-helices that form highly specific homophilic interactions between signaling partners. CARD exists in the N-terminal prodomains of several caspases and in apoptosis-regulatory proteins and mediates the assembly of CARD-containing proteins that participate in activation or suppression of CARD carrying members of the caspase family.
metal ion binding Binding to a metal ion.
protein homodimerization activity Binding to an identical protein to form a homodimer.
protein self-association Binding to a domain within the same polypeptide.

Name Definition
antifungal innate immune response An defense response against a fungus mediated through an innate immune response. An innate immune response is mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.
defense response to Gram-positive bacterium Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a Gram-positive bacterium that act to protect the cell or organism.
defense response to virus Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a virus that act to protect the cell or organism.
