The name of this superfamily has been modified since the most recent official CATH+ release (v4_4_0). At the point of the last release, this superfamily was named:

"
Dynein heavy chain, N-terminal domain 2

FunFam 47: Dynein heavy chain, cytoplasmic

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 O13290 (/IPI)
ATP binding GO:0005524
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
1 O13290 (/ISM)
ATP-dependent microtubule motor activity, minus-end-directed GO:0008569
Catalysis of movement along a microtubule toward the minus end, coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP.
1 O13290 (/TAS)

There are 6 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
Karyogamy involved in conjugation with cellular fusion GO:0000742
During sexual reproduction, the creation of a single nucleus from multiple nuclei as a result of fusing the lipid bilayers that surround each nuclei. This occurs after cytogamy.
1 O13290 (/IMP)
Synapsis GO:0007129
The meiotic cell cycle process where side by side pairing and physical juxtaposition of homologous chromosomes is created during meiotic prophase. Synapsis begins when the chromosome arms begin to pair from the clustered telomeres and ends when synaptonemal complex or linear element assembly is complete.
1 O13290 (/IMP)
Dynein-driven meiotic oscillatory nuclear movement GO:0030989
Oscillatory movement of the nucleus involved in meiosis I. This oscillatory movement is led by an astral microtubule array emanating from the spindle pole body, and driven by the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein.
1 O13290 (/IDA)
Dynein-driven meiotic oscillatory nuclear movement GO:0030989
Oscillatory movement of the nucleus involved in meiosis I. This oscillatory movement is led by an astral microtubule array emanating from the spindle pole body, and driven by the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein.
1 O13290 (/IMP)
Attachment of mitotic spindle microtubules to kinetochore GO:0051315
The cell cycle process in which spindle microtubules become physically associated with the proteins making up the kinetochore complex as part of mitotic metaphase plate congression.
1 O13290 (/IMP)
Mitotic sister chromatid biorientation GO:1990758
The mitotic cell cycle process in which sister chromatids establish stable, end-on attachments to the plus ends of microtubules emanating from opposite spindle poles, oriented such that separation can proceed. This is the final step in metaphase plate congression.
1 O13290 (/IMP)

There are 4 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
Cytoplasmic dynein complex GO:0005868
Any dynein complex with a homodimeric dynein heavy chain core that catalyzes movement along a microtubule. Cytoplasmic dynein complexes participate in many cytoplasmic transport activities in eukaryotes, such as mRNA localization, intermediate filament transport, nuclear envelope breakdown, apoptosis, transport of centrosomal proteins, mitotic spindle assembly, virus transport, kinetochore functions, and movement of signaling and spindle checkpoint proteins. Some complexes participate in intraflagellar transport. Subunits associated with the dynein heavy chain mediate association between dynein heavy chain and cargoes, and may include light chains and light intermediate chains.
1 O13290 (/ISO)
Cortical microtubule cytoskeleton GO:0030981
The portion of the microtubule cytoskeleton that lies just beneath the plasma membrane.
1 O13290 (/IDA)
Meiotic spindle pole body GO:0035974
The microtubule organizing center that forms as part of the meiotic cell cycle; functionally homologous to the animal cell centrosome.
1 O13290 (/IDA)
Meiotic spindle astral microtubule GO:1990574
Any of the meiotic spindle microtubules that radiate in all directions from the spindle poles and are thought to contribute to the forces that separate the poles and position them in relation to the rest of the cell.
