The name of this superfamily has been modified since the most recent official CATH+ release (v4_3_0). At the point of the last release, this superfamily was named:

"
Myosin VI head, motor domain, U50 subdomain

FunFam 53: Myosin-K heavy chain

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 3 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
Protein binding GO:0005515
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
1 Q9XXV8 (/IPI)
Profilin binding GO:0005522
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with profilin, an actin-binding protein that forms a complex with G-actin and prevents it from polymerizing to form F-actin.
1 Q9XXV8 (/IPI)
Actin filament binding GO:0051015
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an actin filament, also known as F-actin, a helical filamentous polymer of globular G-actin subunits.
1 Q9XXV8 (/IDA)

There are 4 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
Phagocytosis, engulfment GO:0006911
The internalization of bacteria, immune complexes and other particulate matter or of an apoptotic cell by phagocytosis, including the membrane and cytoskeletal processes required, which involves one of three mechanisms: zippering of pseudopods around a target via repeated receptor-ligand interactions, sinking of the target directly into plasma membrane of the phagocytosing cell, or induced uptake via an enhanced membrane ruffling of the phagocytosing cell similar to macropinocytosis.
1 Q9XXV8 (/IMP)
Cortical actin cytoskeleton organization GO:0030866
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of actin-based cytoskeletal structures in the cell cortex, i.e. just beneath the plasma membrane.
1 Q9XXV8 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of phagocytosis GO:0050766
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of phagocytosis.
1 Q9XXV8 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of cell motility GO:2000147
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell motility.
1 Q9XXV8 (/IMP)

There are 7 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
Ruffle GO:0001726
Projection at the leading edge of a crawling cell; the protrusions are supported by a microfilament meshwork.
1 Q9XXV8 (/IDA)
Phagocytic cup GO:0001891
An invagination of the cell membrane formed by an actin dependent process during phagocytosis. Following internalization it is converted into a phagosome.
1 Q9XXV8 (/IDA)
Cytoplasm GO:0005737
All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
1 Q9XXV8 (/IDA)
Cell leading edge GO:0031252
The area of a motile cell closest to the direction of movement.
1 Q9XXV8 (/IDA)
Early phagosome GO:0032009
A membrane-bounded intracellular vesicle as initially formed upon the ingestion of particulate material by phagocytosis.
1 Q9XXV8 (/IDA)
Macropinocytic cup GO:0070685
A cell projection that forms at the site of macropinocytosis, a form of endocytosis that results in the uptake of relatively large amounts of extracellular fluid. The macropinocytic cup membrane selectively excludes certain proteins, such as H36 or PM4C4 in Dictyostelium, and the underlying cytoskeleton is enriched in F-actin and coronin.
1 Q9XXV8 (/IDA)
Phagocytic cup lip GO:0097203
The tip or margin of the progressing circular lamella that engulfs a particle during phagocytosis. When the two lips of the cup fuse it is converted into a phagosome.
