FunFam 1172: Usherin

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 O75445 (/IPI)
Collagen binding GO:0005518
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with collagen, a group of fibrous proteins of very high tensile strength that form the main component of connective tissue in animals. Collagen is highly enriched in glycine (some regions are 33% glycine) and proline, occurring predominantly as 3-hydroxyproline (about 20%).
1 O75445 (/IDA)
Myosin binding GO:0017022
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any part of a myosin complex; myosins are any of a superfamily of molecular motor proteins that bind to actin and use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to generate force and movement along actin filaments.
1 O75445 (/ISS)

There are 7 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
Sensory perception of sound GO:0007605
The series of events required for an organism to receive an auditory stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Sonic stimuli are detected in the form of vibrations and are processed to form a sound.
1 O75445 (/IMP)
Hair cell differentiation GO:0035315
The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a hair cell.
1 O75445 (/ISS)
Establishment of protein localization GO:0045184
The directed movement of a protein to a specific location.
1 O75445 (/ISS)
Photoreceptor cell maintenance GO:0045494
Any process preventing the degeneration of the photoreceptor, a specialized cell type that is sensitive to light.
1 O75445 (/IMP)
Maintenance of animal organ identity GO:0048496
The process in which the identity of an animal organ is maintained. Identity is considered to be the aggregate of characteristics by which a structure is recognized.
1 O75445 (/IMP)
Sensory perception of light stimulus GO:0050953
The series of events required for an organism to receive a sensory light stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process.
1 O75445 (/IMP)
Inner ear receptor cell differentiation GO:0060113
The process in which relatively unspecialized cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features of inner ear receptor cells. Inner ear receptor cells are mechanorecptors found in the inner ear responsible for transducing signals involved in balance and sensory perception of sound.
1 O75445 (/ISS)

There are 9 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
Stereocilia ankle link GO:0002141
A stereocilia coupling link that is composed of a fine filament present in developing stereocilia that couples the bases of individual stereocilia to one another. They are not present in mature stereocilia.
1 O75445 (/ISS)
Stereocilia ankle link complex GO:0002142
A complex of proteins that connect growing stereocilia in developing cochlear hair cells, composed of Vlgr1, usherin, vezatin, and whirlin.
1 O75445 (/ISS)
Basement membrane GO:0005604
A collagen-containing extracellular matrix consisting of a thin layer of dense material found in various animal tissues interposed between the cells and the adjacent connective tissue. It consists of the basal lamina plus an associated layer of reticulin fibers.
1 O75445 (/IDA)
Cytoplasm GO:0005737
All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
1 O75445 (/IDA)
Apical plasma membrane GO:0016324
The region of the plasma membrane located at the apical end of the cell.
1 O75445 (/ISS)
Stereocilium bundle GO:0032421
A bundle of cross-linked stereocilia, arranged around a kinocilium on the apical surface of a sensory hair cell (e.g. a neuromast, auditory or vestibular hair cell). Stereocilium bundles act as mechanosensory organelles by responding to fluid motion or fluid pressure changes.
1 O75445 (/ISS)
Stereocilium membrane GO:0060171
The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a stereocilium.
1 O75445 (/ISS)
Periciliary membrane compartment GO:1990075
A plasma membrane region adjacent to the base of eukaryotic cilia and flagella that is enriched in endocytosis-associated proteins and vesicles and that appears to regulate ciliary membrane homeostasis.
1 O75445 (/ISS)
USH2 complex GO:1990696
A protein complex composed of four proteins, loss of which results in Usher Syndrome type 2 (USH2 syndrome), a leading genetic cause of combined hearing and vision loss. This complex is conserved in many species; in mice, it is composed of USH2A, GPR98 (aka ADGRV1), WHRN, and PDZD7.
