FunFam 17: SaPosin-like Protein family

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 1 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Channel activity GO:0015267
Enables the energy-independent facilitated diffusion, mediated by passage of a solute through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel. Stereospecificity is not exhibited but this transport may be specific for a particular molecular species or class of molecules.
1 Q86FL8 (/IDA)

There are 8 GO terms relating to "biological process"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Lysosomal transport GO:0007041
The directed movement of substances into, out of or within a lysosome.
2 P20097 (/ISS) P81405 (/ISS)
Defense response to Gram-negative bacterium GO:0050829
Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a Gram-negative bacterium that act to protect the cell or organism.
2 Q22336 (/IDA) Q86FL8 (/IDA)
Defense response to Gram-positive bacterium GO:0050830
Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a Gram-positive bacterium that act to protect the cell or organism.
2 Q22336 (/IDA) Q86FL8 (/IDA)
Innate immune response GO:0045087
Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.
1 Q22336 (/HEP)
Pore complex assembly GO:0046931
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a pore complex. A pore complex is a small opening in a membrane that allows the passage of liquids and/or gases.
1 Q54C60 (/IMP)
Defense response to Gram-negative bacterium GO:0050829
Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a Gram-negative bacterium that act to protect the cell or organism.
1 Q54C60 (/IMP)
Defense response to Gram-positive bacterium GO:0050830
Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a Gram-positive bacterium that act to protect the cell or organism.
1 Q8MPX7 (/IEP)
Protein homooligomerization GO:0051260
The process of creating protein oligomers, compounds composed of a small number, usually between three and ten, of identical component monomers. Oligomers may be formed by the polymerization of a number of monomers or the depolymerization of a large protein polymer.
1 Q22336 (/IDA)

There are 3 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Extracellular region GO:0005576
The space external to the outermost structure of a cell. For cells without external protective or external encapsulating structures this refers to space outside of the plasma membrane. This term covers the host cell environment outside an intracellular parasite.
2 P20097 (/ISS) P81405 (/ISS)
Lysosome GO:0005764
A small lytic vacuole that has cell cycle-independent morphology and is found in most animal cells and that contains a variety of hydrolases, most of which have their maximal activities in the pH range 5-6. The contained enzymes display latency if properly isolated. About 40 different lysosomal hydrolases are known and lysosomes have a great variety of morphologies and functions.
2 P20097 (/ISS) P81405 (/ISS)
Late endosome GO:0005770
A prelysosomal endocytic organelle differentiated from early endosomes by lower lumenal pH and different protein composition. Late endosomes are more spherical than early endosomes and are mostly juxtanuclear, being concentrated near the microtubule organizing center.
