FunFam 359: opsin, ultraviolet-sensitive

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
G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity GO:0008020
Combining with incidental electromagnetic radiation, particularly visible light, and transmitting the signal across the membrane by activating an associated G-protein; promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha subunit of a heterotrimeric G-protein complex.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway GO:0007186
A series of molecular signals that proceeds with an activated receptor promoting the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The GTP-bound activated alpha-G-protein then dissociates from the beta- and gamma-subunits to further transmit the signal within the cell. The pathway begins with receptor-ligand interaction, or for basal GPCR signaling the pathway begins with the receptor activating its G protein in the absence of an agonist, and ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. The pathway can start from the plasma membrane, Golgi or nuclear membrane (PMID:24568158 and PMID:16902576).
1 Q9VTU7 (/ISS)
Response to photoperiod, blue light GO:0009906
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of the detection of a blue light photoperiod stimulus. Blue light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of between 440 and 500nm.
1 Q9VTU7 (/IMP)
Rhodopsin mediated signaling pathway GO:0016056
The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of excitation of rhodopsin by a photon and the events that convert the absorbed photons into a cellular response.
1 Q9VTU7 (/IMP)
Entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod GO:0043153
The synchronization of a circadian rhythm to photoperiod, the intermittent cycle of light (day) and dark (night).
1 Q9VTU7 (/IGI)
Entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod GO:0043153
The synchronization of a circadian rhythm to photoperiod, the intermittent cycle of light (day) and dark (night).
1 Q9VTU7 (/IMP)
Circadian behavior GO:0048512
The specific behavior of an organism that recurs with a regularity of approximately 24 hours.
1 Q9VTU7 (/IMP)
Cellular response to light stimulus GO:0071482
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a light stimulus, electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths classified as infrared, visible or ultraviolet light.
1 Q9VTU7 (/IMP)

There are 1 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
Integral component of membrane GO:0016021
The component of a 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.
