FunFam 8: Pheromone P-factor receptor

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 Q00619 (/IPI)
Pheromone binding GO:0005550
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a pheromone, a substance, or characteristic mixture of substances, that is secreted and released by an organism and detected by a second organism of the same or a closely related species, in which it causes a specific reaction, such as a definite behavioral reaction or a developmental process.
1 Q00619 (/IDA)
Mating-type P-factor pheromone receptor activity GO:0036320
Combining with the mating-type peptide pheromone P-factor and transmitting the signal across the membrane to initiate a change in cell activity. P-factor is a polypeptide of 23 residues, with the sequence Thr-Tyr-Ala-Asp-Phe-Leu-Arg-Ala-Tyr-Gln-Ser-Trp-Asn-Thr-Phe-Val-Asn-Pro-Asp-Arg-Pro-Asn-Leu, and is a peptide pheromone released by Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells of the cellular mating type Plus.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Pheromone-dependent signal transduction involved in conjugation with cellular fusion GO:0000750
A signal transduction process resulting in the relay, amplification or dampening of a signal generated in response to pheromone exposure in organisms that undergo conjugation with cellular fusion. An example of this process is found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
1 Q00619 (/IC)
Pheromone-dependent signal transduction involved in conjugation with cellular fusion GO:0000750
A signal transduction process resulting in the relay, amplification or dampening of a signal generated in response to pheromone exposure in organisms that undergo conjugation with cellular fusion. An example of this process is found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
1 Q00619 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of conjugation with cellular fusion GO:0031139
Any process that increases the rate or frequency of conjugation with cellular fusion.
1 Q00619 (/IMP)
Receptor transactivation GO:0035624
The process in which a receptor is activated by another receptor. Receptor transactivation can occur through different mechanisms and includes cross-talk between signaling pathways where one receptor activates a receptor for a different ligand, and also activation of subunits within a receptor oligomer.

There are 8 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Fungal-type vacuole GO:0000324
A vacuole that has both lytic and storage functions. The fungal vacuole is a large, membrane-bounded organelle that functions as a reservoir for the storage of small molecules (including polyphosphate, amino acids, several divalent cations (e.g. calcium), other ions, and other small molecules) as well as being the primary compartment for degradation. It is an acidic compartment, containing an ensemble of acid hydrolases. At least in S. cerevisiae, there are indications that the morphology of the vacuole is variable and correlated with the cell cycle, with logarithmically growing cells having a multilobed, reticulated vacuole, while stationary phase cells contain a single large structure.
1 Q00619 (/HDA)
Integral component of plasma membrane GO:0005887
The component of the plasma membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane.
1 Q00619 (/IDA)
Cell cortex GO:0005938
The region of a cell that lies just beneath the plasma membrane and often, but not always, contains a network of actin filaments and associated proteins.
1 Q00619 (/IDA)
Plasma membrane of cell tip GO:0031520
The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding the cell tip.
1 Q00619 (/IDA)
Cell division site GO:0032153
The eventual plane of cell division (also known as cell cleavage or cytokinesis) in a dividing cell. In Eukaryotes, the cleavage apparatus, composed of septin structures and the actomyosin contractile ring, forms along this plane, and the mitotic, or meiotic, spindle is aligned perpendicular to the division plane. In bacteria, the cell division site is generally located at mid-cell and is the site at which the cytoskeletal structure, the Z-ring, assembles.
1 Q00619 (/HDA)
G protein-coupled receptor homodimeric complex GO:0038038
A protein complex that contains two G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) of the same subtype. Formation of a GPCR homodimer may be important for the transport of newly formed receptors to the cell surface, and the function of the receptor.
1 Q00619 (/IDA)
Cell tip GO:0051286
The region at the end of the longest axis of a cylindrical or elongated cell.
1 Q00619 (/HDA)
Mating projection membrane GO:0070250
The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a mating projection, the projection formed by unicellular fungi in response to mating pheromone.
