Descriptions
Intersection-1L (Itsn1) is a member of the Dbl homology (DH) domain quinine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF) which control Rho-family GTPase signaling. Itsn1 is a GEF specific for Cdc42 and plays an important role in endocytosis. The five SH3 domains of Itsn1 are important for autoinhibition, with the fifth domain (SH3E) being sufficient for the bulk of the autoinhibitory effect. The actual autoinhibited structure contains the related intramolecular SH3E-DH interaction, which may block or distort the GTPase binding region of the DH domain.
SH3A is involved in the interaction of Itsn1 with synapsin and it is autoinhibited by its adjacent N-terminal and C-terminal sequences.

17 GO annotations of cellular component
Name | Definition |
---|---|
apical dendrite | A dendrite that emerges near the apical pole of a neuron. In bipolar neurons, apical dendrites are located on the opposite side of the soma from the axon. |
calyx of Held | The terminal specialization of a calyciferous axon which forms large synapses in the mammalian auditory central nervous system. |
clathrin-coated pit | A part of the endomembrane system in the form of an invagination of a membrane upon which a clathrin coat forms, and that can be converted by vesicle budding into a clathrin-coated vesicle. Coated pits form on the plasma membrane, where they are involved in receptor-mediated selective transport of many proteins and other macromolecules across the cell membrane, in the trans-Golgi network, and on some endosomes. |
cytoplasm | The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
cytosol | The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. |
dendritic spine | A small, membranous protrusion from a dendrite that forms a postsynaptic compartment, typically receiving input from a single presynapse. They function as partially isolated biochemical and an electrical compartments. Spine morphology is variable:they can be thin, stubby, mushroom, or branched, with a continuum of intermediate morphologies. They typically terminate in a bulb shape, linked to the dendritic shaft by a restriction. Spine remodeling is though to be involved in synaptic plasticity. |
endocytic vesicle | A membrane-bounded intracellular vesicle formed by invagination of the plasma membrane around an extracellular substance. Endocytic vesicles fuse with early endosomes to deliver the cargo for further sorting. |
glutamatergic synapse | A synapse that uses glutamate as a neurotransmitter. |
intracellular vesicle | Any vesicle that is part of the intracellular region. |
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. |
neuronal cell body | The portion of a neuron that includes the nucleus, but excludes cell projections such as axons and dendrites. |
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). |
plasma membrane | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. |
postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton | The actin cytoskeleton that is part of a postsynapse. |
presynaptic endocytic zone | A specialized region of the plasma membrane and underlying cytoplasm which surround the the active zone, into which synaptic vesicle membranes are recycled following exocytosis. It is especially enriched in endocytic proteins following intense activity. |
recycling endosome | An organelle consisting of a network of tubules that functions in targeting molecules, such as receptors transporters and lipids, to the plasma membrane. |
synapse | The junction between an axon of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron, a muscle fiber or a glial cell. As the axon approaches the synapse it enlarges into a specialized structure, the presynaptic terminal bouton, which contains mitochondria and synaptic vesicles. At the tip of the terminal bouton is the presynaptic membrane; facing it, and separated from it by a minute cleft (the synaptic cleft) is a specialized area of membrane on the receiving cell, known as the postsynaptic membrane. In response to the arrival of nerve impulses, the presynaptic terminal bouton secretes molecules of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These diffuse across the cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane. |
5 GO annotations of molecular function
Name | Definition |
---|---|
calcium ion binding | Binding to a calcium ion (Ca2+). |
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. |
kinase activator activity | Binds to and increases the activity of a kinase, an enzyme which catalyzes of the transfer of a phosphate group, usually from ATP, to a substrate molecule. |
molecular adaptor activity | The binding activity of a molecule that brings together two or more molecules through a selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric interaction, permitting those molecules to function in a coordinated way. |
proline-rich region binding | Binding to a proline-rich region, i.e. a region that contains a high proportion of proline residues, in a protein. |
13 GO annotations of biological process
Name | Definition |
---|---|
clathrin-dependent synaptic vesicle endocytosis | Clathrin-dependent endocytosis of presynaptic membrane regions comprising synaptic vesicles' membrane constituents. This is a relatively slow process occurring in the range of tens of seconds. |
endocytosis | A vesicle-mediated transport process in which cells take up external materials or membrane constituents by the invagination of a small region of the plasma membrane to form a new membrane-bounded vesicle. |
endosomal transport | The directed movement of substances mediated by an endosome, a membrane-bounded organelle that carries materials enclosed in the lumen or located in the endosomal membrane. |
exocytosis | A process of secretion by a cell that results in the release of intracellular molecules (e.g. hormones, matrix proteins) contained within a membrane-bounded vesicle. Exocytosis can occur either by full fusion, when the vesicle collapses into the plasma membrane, or by a kiss-and-run mechanism that involves the formation of a transient contact, a pore, between a granule (for exemple of chromaffin cells) and the plasma membrane. The latter process most of the time leads to only partial secretion of the granule content. Exocytosis begins with steps that prepare vesicles for fusion with the membrane (tethering and docking) and ends when molecules are secreted from the cell. |
negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptotic process in neurons. |
positive regulation of caveolin-mediated endocytosis | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of caveolin-mediated endocytosis. |
positive regulation of dendritic spine development | Any process that increases the rate, frequency, or extent of dendritic spine development, the process whose specific outcome is the progression of the dendritic spine over time, from its formation to the mature structure. |
positive regulation of growth hormone secretion | Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of growth hormone from a cell. |
positive regulation of protein kinase B signaling | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of protein kinase B signaling, a series of reactions mediated by the intracellular serine/threonine kinase protein kinase B. |
protein transport | The directed movement of proteins into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. |
regulation of modification of postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of modification of postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton. |
small GTPase mediated signal transduction | The series of molecular signals in which a small monomeric GTPase relays a signal. |
synaptic vesicle endocytosis | A vesicle-mediated transport process, in which the synaptic vesicle membrane constituents are retrieved from the presynaptic membrane on the axon terminal after neurotransmitter secretion by exocytosis. Synaptic vesicle endocytosis can occur via clathrin-dependent and clathrin-independent mechanisms. |
