Descriptions

The translocation of Son of Sevenless 1 (SOS1) protein to the plasma membrane enables activation of membrane-bound Ras, which is a vital regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation. SOS1 consists of the histone domain, the Dbl homology (DH), the Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, and PH-Rem helical linker, and C-terminal region providing docking sites for adaptor proteins such as Grb2. SOS is inactive by the DH-PH unit, which blocks allosteric Ras binding. In addition, the histone-fold domain plays a dual role in occluding the allosteric site and in stabilizing the autoinhibitory conformation of the DH-PH unit. Autoinhibition of the catalytic domain of SOS is released by enhancing the density of PIP2 and the local concentration of Ras-GTP, consequently increasing the activity of SOS at the membrane. Ras-GTP allosterically regulates the catalytic domain.

3 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
calmodulin binding Binding to calmodulin, a calcium-binding protein with many roles, both in the calcium-bound and calcium-free states.
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.
protein heterodimerization activity Binding to a nonidentical protein to form a heterodimer.

5 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
cell migration The controlled self-propelled movement of a cell from one site to a destination guided by molecular cues. Cell migration is a central process in the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms.
embryo development ending in birth or egg hatching The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an embryo over time, from zygote formation until the end of the embryonic life stage. The end of the embryonic life stage is organism-specific and may be somewhat arbitrary; for mammals it is usually considered to be birth, for insects the hatching of the first instar larva from the eggshell.
female gamete generation Generation of the female gamete; specialised haploid cells produced by meiosis and along with a male gamete takes part in sexual reproduction.
positive regulation of vulval development Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of development of the vulva. Vulval development is the process whose specific outcome is the progression of the egg-laying organ of female and hermaphrodite nematodes over time, from its formation to the mature structure. In nematodes, the vulva is formed from ventral epidermal cells during larval stages to give rise to a fully formed vulva in the adult.
small GTPase mediated signal transduction The series of molecular signals in which a small monomeric GTPase relays a signal.
