Descriptions

G-protein coupled receptor kinase-interacting protein (GIT, p95-APP1) proteins include an N-terminal Arf GTPase-activating protein domain (Arf-GAP domain), three ankyrin repeats, a Spa2-homology domain (SHD), a coiled-coil domain including a leucine zipper required for dimerization, and a paxillin-binding site (PBS). To autoinhibit the C-terminal domain, the N-terminal GAP domain (1-124) interacts with the C-terminal domain. In addition, the interaction between the ankyrin repeats and SHD domain is probably the main intramolecular interface to keep the inactive conformation (GAP-C terminal domain interaction) of p95-APP1. Therefore, the SHD domain is essential in mediating the intramolecular interactions between the C-terminal half of GIT1 and the N-terminal part including GAP domain and ankyrin repeats.

  • During cell migration, moves from the disassembling adhesions into the cytosol and towards the leading edge
  • In adherent cells, localizes to adhesions
  • Recruitment to adhesions may be mediated by RAC1 and active tyrosine-phosphorylated PXN (By similarity)
  • May be present in both excitatory, as well as inhibitory synapses (PubMed:12695502, PubMed:25284783)
  • In hippocampal neurons, recruitment of GIT1 to synapses is regulated by ephrinB activation and ephrinB downstream effector GRB4/NCK2 (PubMed:17310244)
  • In hippocampal neurons, partially colocalizes with PCLO (PubMed:12473661)
  • Interaction with GRIN3A limits GIT1 synaptic localization (PubMed:24297929)
  • Localization to the centrosome does not depend upon the presence of gamma-tubulin (By similarity)

Name Definition
calyx of Held The terminal specialization of a calyciferous axon which forms large synapses in the mammalian auditory central nervous system.
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.
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
dendrite A neuron projection that has a short, tapering, morphology. Dendrites receive and integrate signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conduct nerve impulses towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body.
endosome A vacuole to which materials ingested by endocytosis are delivered.
excitatory synapse A synapse in which an action potential in the presynaptic cell increases the probability of an action potential occurring in the postsynaptic cell.
focal adhesion A cell-substrate junction that anchors the cell to the extracellular matrix and that forms a point of termination of actin filaments. In insects focal adhesion has also been referred to as hemi-adherens junction (HAJ).
GABA-ergic synapse A synapse that uses GABA as a neurotransmitter. These synapses are typically inhibitory.
glutamatergic synapse A synapse that uses glutamate as a neurotransmitter.
growth cone The migrating motile tip of a growing neuron projection, where actin accumulates, and the actin cytoskeleton is the most dynamic.
inhibitory synapse A synapse in which an action potential in the presynaptic cell reduces the probability of an action potential occurring in the postsynaptic cell.
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.
mitotic spindle pole Either of the ends of a mitotic spindle, a spindle that forms as part of mitosis, where spindle microtubules are organized; usually contains a microtubule organizing center and accessory molecules, spindle microtubules and astral microtubules.
neuron projection A prolongation or process extending from a nerve cell, e.g. an axon or dendrite.
postsynapse The part of a synapse that is part of the post-synaptic cell.
postsynaptic density An electron dense network of proteins within and adjacent to the postsynaptic membrane of an asymmetric, neuron-neuron synapse. Its major components include neurotransmitter receptors and the proteins that spatially and functionally organize them such as anchoring and scaffolding molecules, signaling enzymes and cytoskeletal components.
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.

24 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
brain development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the brain over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Brain development begins with patterning events in the neural tube and ends with the mature structure that is the center of thought and emotion. The brain is responsible for the coordination and control of bodily activities and the interpretation of information from the senses (sight, hearing, smell, etc.).
cell redox homeostasis Any process that maintains the redox environment of a cell or compartment within a cell.
cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an epidermal growth factor stimulus.
cellular response to lipopolysaccharide Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a lipopolysaccharide stimulus; lipopolysaccharide is a major component of the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria.
dendritic spine development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the dendritic spine over time, from its formation to the mature structure. A dendritic spine is a protrusion from a dendrite and a specialized subcellular compartment involved in synaptic transmission.

positive regulation of microtubule nucleation Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of microtubule nucleation. Microtubule nucleation is the 'de novo' formation of a microtubule, in which tubulin heterodimers form metastable oligomeric aggregates, some of which go on to support formation of a complete microtubule. Microtubule nucleation usually occurs from a specific site within a cell.
