FunFam 20: Maternal effect protein oskar

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
MRNA binding GO:0003729
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with messenger RNA (mRNA), an intermediate molecule between DNA and protein. mRNA includes UTR and coding sequences, but does not contain introns.
1 P25158 (/IDA)

There are 21 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
Pole cell formation GO:0007279
Formation of a small group of cells (pole cells) at the posterior pole of the insect blastula. They are the first cells to cellularize after the arrival of nuclei at the end of the syncytial blastula stage and are the precursors to the insect germ cells.
1 P25158 (/TAS)
Germ cell development GO:0007281
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an immature germ cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure (gamete). A germ cell is any reproductive cell in a multicellular organism.
1 P25158 (/IMP)
Oocyte anterior/posterior axis specification GO:0007314
Polarization of the oocyte along its anterior-posterior axis. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
1 P25158 (/NAS)
Pole plasm assembly GO:0007315
Establishment of the specialized cytoplasm found at the poles of the egg. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
1 P25158 (/TAS)
Pole plasm protein localization GO:0007318
Any process in which a protein is transported to, or maintained in, the oocyte pole plasm. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
1 P25158 (/TAS)
Posterior abdomen determination GO:0007359
The regionalization process in which the posterior (abdominal) regions of the embryo are specified by the gap genes.
1 P25158 (/IMP)
Long-term memory GO:0007616
The memory process that deals with the storage, retrieval and modification of information a long time (typically weeks, months or years) after receiving that information. This type of memory is typically dependent on gene transcription regulated by second messenger activation.
1 P25158 (/TAS)
Visual behavior GO:0007632
The behavior of an organism in response to a visual stimulus.
1 P25158 (/IMP)
Oocyte microtubule cytoskeleton polarization GO:0008103
Establishment and maintenance of a specific axis of polarity of the oocyte microtubule network. The axis is set so that the minus and plus ends of the microtubules of the mid stage oocyte are positioned along the anterior cortex and at the posterior pole, respectively. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
1 P25158 (/IMP)
Visual learning GO:0008542
Any process in an organism in which a change in behavior of an individual occurs in response to repeated exposure to a visual cue.
1 P25158 (/IMP)
Pole plasm mRNA localization GO:0019094
Any process in which mRNA is transported to, or maintained in, the oocyte pole plasm. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
1 P25158 (/TAS)
P granule organization GO:0030719
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of polar granules, cytoplasmic, non-membranous RNA/protein complex aggregates in the primordial germ cells of many higher eukaryotes.
1 P25158 (/IMP)
P granule organization GO:0030719
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of polar granules, cytoplasmic, non-membranous RNA/protein complex aggregates in the primordial germ cells of many higher eukaryotes.
1 P25158 (/TAS)
Protein localization to nucleus GO:0034504
A process in which a protein transports or maintains the localization of another protein to the nucleus.
1 P25158 (/IMP)
Segmentation GO:0035282
The regionalization process that divides an organism or part of an organism into a series of semi-repetitive parts, or segments, often arranged along a longitudinal axis.
1 P25158 (/IMP)
Thermosensory behavior GO:0040040
Behavior that is dependent upon the sensation of temperature.
1 P25158 (/IMP)
Regulation of mRNA stability GO:0043488
Any process that modulates the propensity of mRNA molecules to degradation. Includes processes that both stabilize and destabilize mRNAs.
1 P25158 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of translation GO:0045727
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of proteins by the translation of mRNA or circRNA.
1 P25158 (/NAS)
Regulation of oskar mRNA translation GO:0046011
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of oskar mRNA translation. To ensure the localization of Oskar protein at the posterior pole of the oocyte, translation of oskar mRNA is repressed during its transport to the posterior pole and activated upon localization of the mRNA at the posterior cortex.
1 P25158 (/TAS)
Oogenesis GO:0048477
The complete process of formation and maturation of an ovum or female gamete from a primordial female germ cell. Examples of this process are found in Mus musculus and Drosophila melanogaster.

P granule assembly GO:1903863
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a P granule.
