FunFam 24: Cytoplasmic dynein 1b 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
Motor activity GO:0003774
Catalysis of the generation of force resulting either in movement along a microfilament or microtubule, or in torque resulting in membrane scission, coupled to the hydrolysis of a nucleoside triphosphate.
1 Q9SMH5 (/TAS)
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 Q9SMH5 (/IPI)
Dynein light chain binding GO:0045503
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a light chain of the dynein complex.
1 Q9SMH5 (/IPI)

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Motile cilium assembly GO:0044458
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a motile cilium.
1 Q9SMH5 (/IMP)
Establishment of protein localization to organelle GO:0072594
The directed movement of a protein to a specific location on or in an organelle. Encompasses establishment of localization in the membrane or lumen of a membrane-bounded organelle.

There are 5 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
Cytoplasmic dynein complex GO:0005868
Any dynein complex with a homodimeric dynein heavy chain core that catalyzes movement along a microtubule. Cytoplasmic dynein complexes participate in many cytoplasmic transport activities in eukaryotes, such as mRNA localization, intermediate filament transport, nuclear envelope breakdown, apoptosis, transport of centrosomal proteins, mitotic spindle assembly, virus transport, kinetochore functions, and movement of signaling and spindle checkpoint proteins. Some complexes participate in intraflagellar transport. Subunits associated with the dynein heavy chain mediate association between dynein heavy chain and cargoes, and may include light chains and light intermediate chains.
1 Q9SMH5 (/IDA)
Dynein complex GO:0030286
Any of several large complexes that contain two or three dynein heavy chains and several light chains, and have microtubule motor activity.
1 Q9SMH5 (/IDA)
Intraciliary transport particle GO:0030990
A nonmembrane-bound oligomeric protein complex that participates in bidirectional transport of molecules (cargo) along axonemal microtubules.
1 Q9SMH5 (/IDA)
Motile cilium GO:0031514
A cilium which may have a variable arrangement of axonemal microtubules and also contains molecular motors. It may beat with a whip-like pattern that promotes cell motility or transport of fluids and other cells across a cell surface, such as on epithelial cells that line the lumenal ducts of various tissues; or they may display a distinct twirling motion that directs fluid flow asymmetrically across the cellular surface to affect asymmetric body plan organization. Motile cilia can be found in single as well as multiple copies per cell.
1 Q9SMH5 (/IDA)
Ciliary plasm GO:0097014
All of the contents of a cilium, excluding the plasma membrane surrounding the cilium.
