Descriptions

Cytoplasmic linker protein (CLIP-170 or CLIP1) is a prototype of the plus end-tracking proteins that regulate microtubule dynamics. The CAP-Gly-2 domain possesses a basic groove and directly binds the EExEEY/F motif of the C-terminal acidic-tail ends of α-tubulin. The C-terminal zinc knuckle domains of CLIP-170 bind the basic groove to inhibit the binding to the acidic tails of α-tubulin. Once CLIP-170 binds microtubule, the released zinc knuckle domain may serve to recruit dynein to the plus end by interacting with the dynactin subunit p150Glued and LIS1.

10 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
centrosome A structure comprised of a core structure (in most organisms, a pair of centrioles) and peripheral material from which a microtubule-based structure, such as a spindle apparatus, is organized. Centrosomes occur close to the nucleus during interphase in many eukaryotic cells, though in animal cells it changes continually during the cell-division cycle.
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
cytoplasmic microtubule Any microtubule in the cytoplasm of a cell.
cytoplasmic vesicle membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding a cytoplasmic vesicle.
microtubule Any of the long, generally straight, hollow tubes of internal diameter 12-15 nm and external diameter 24 nm found in a wide variety of eukaryotic cells; each consists (usually) of 13 protofilaments of polymeric tubulin, staggered in such a manner that the tubulin monomers are arranged in a helical pattern on the microtubular surface, and with the alpha/beta axes of the tubulin subunits parallel to the long axis of the tubule; exist in equilibrium with pool of tubulin monomers and can be rapidly assembled or disassembled in response to physiological stimuli; concerned with force generation, e.g. in the spindle.
microtubule cytoskeleton The part of the cytoskeleton (the internal framework of a cell) composed of microtubules and associated proteins.
microtubule plus-end The growing (plus) end of a microtubule. In vitro, microtubules polymerize more quickly at the plus end than at the minus end. In vivo, microtubule growth occurs only at the plus end, and the plus end switches between periods of growth and shortening, a behavior known as dynamic instability.
nuclear envelope The double lipid bilayer enclosing the nucleus and separating its contents from the rest of the cytoplasm; includes the intermembrane space, a gap of width 20-40 nm (also called the perinuclear space).
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.
ruffle Projection at the leading edge of a crawling cell; the protrusions are supported by a microfilament meshwork.

5 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
cytoplasmic microtubule organization A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of structures formed of microtubules and associated proteins in the cytoplasm of a cell.
microtubule bundle formation A process that results in a parallel arrangement of microtubules.
positive regulation of dendrite development Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of dendrite development.
positive regulation of microtubule polymerization Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of microtubule polymerization.
protein transport into plasma membrane raft The directed movement of a protein into a plasma membrane raft.
