FunFam 25: Formin-E

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 6 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.

There are 15 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
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.
3 Q54N00 (/IGI) Q54WH2 (/IGI) Q5TJ57 (/IGI)
Actin filament polymerization GO:0030041
Assembly of actin filaments by the addition of actin monomers to a filament.
2 Q54WH2 (/IDA) Q5TJ56 (/IDA)
Actin nucleation GO:0045010
The initial step in the formation of an actin filament, in which actin monomers combine to form a new filament. Nucleation is slow relative to the subsequent addition of more monomers to extend the filament.
2 Q54N00 (/IDA) Q54WH2 (/IDA)
'de novo' actin filament nucleation GO:0070060
The actin nucleation process in which actin monomers combine in the absence of any existing actin filaments; elongation of the actin oligomer formed by nucleation leads to the formation of an unbranched filament.
2 Q5TJ56 (/IDA) Q5TJ57 (/IDA)
Cell morphogenesis GO:0000902
The developmental process in which the size or shape of a cell is generated and organized.
1 Q54N00 (/IMP)
Cell migration GO:0016477
The controlled self-propelled movement of a cell from one site to a destination guided by molecular cues. Cell migration is a central process in the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms.

Positive regulation of actin filament polymerization GO:0030838
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of actin polymerization.
1 Q54N00 (/IDA)
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 Q54WH2 (/IMP)
Pseudopodium organization GO:0031268
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a pseudopodium, a temporary protrusion or retractile process of a cell, associated with cellular movement.

Cell-substrate adhesion GO:0031589
The attachment of a cell to the underlying substrate via adhesion molecules.
1 Q54N00 (/IMP)
Filopodium assembly GO:0046847

1 Q54N00 (/IMP)
Positive phototaxis GO:0046956
The directed movement of a cell or organism towards a source of light.
1 Q5TJ56 (/IMP)
Cell motility GO:0048870
Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another.
1 Q54N00 (/IMP)
Barbed-end actin filament uncapping GO:0051638
The removal of capping protein from the barbed (or plus) end of actin filaments to free the ends for addition, exchange or removal of further actin subunits.
1 Q54N00 (/IDA)
Negative regulation of bleb assembly GO:1904171
Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of bleb assembly.
