FunFam 543: Dystrophin-1

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 2 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
Acetylcholine transmembrane transporter activity GO:0005277
Enables the transfer of acetylcholine from one side of a membrane to the other. Acetylcholine is an acetic acid ester of the organic base choline and functions as a neurotransmitter, released at the synapses of parasympathetic nerves and at neuromuscular junctions.
1 Q9TW65 (/IMP)
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 Q9TW65 (/IPI)

There are 8 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
Synaptic transmission, cholinergic GO:0007271
The vesicular release of acetylcholine from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of dopamine receptors at the postsynapse of a target cell (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) and the effects of this activation on the postsynaptic membrane potential and ionic composition of the postsynaptic cytosol. This process encompasses both spontaneous and evoked release of neurotransmitter and all parts of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Evoked transmission starts with the arrival of an action potential at the presynapse.
1 Q9TW65 (/IMP)
Locomotory behavior GO:0007626
The specific movement from place to place of an organism in response to external or internal stimuli. Locomotion of a whole organism in a manner dependent upon some combination of that organism's internal state and external conditions.
1 Q9TW65 (/IMP)
Acetylcholine transport GO:0015870
The directed movement of acetylcholine into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Acetylcholine is an acetic acid ester of the organic base choline and functions as a neurotransmitter, released at the synapses of parasympathetic nerves and at neuromuscular junctions.
1 Q9TW65 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of synaptic transmission, cholinergic GO:0032224
Any process that activates, maintains or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cholinergic synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to another neuron across a synapse using the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
1 Q9TW65 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of locomotion GO:0040017
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of locomotion of a cell or organism.
1 Q9TW65 (/IMP)
Forward locomotion GO:0043056
Anterior movement of an organism, following the direction of the head of the animal.
1 Q9TW65 (/IMP)
Sarcomere organization GO:0045214
The myofibril assembly process that results in the organization of muscle actomyosin into sarcomeres. The sarcomere is the repeating unit of a myofibril in a muscle cell, composed of an array of overlapping thick and thin filaments between two adjacent Z discs.
1 Q9TW65 (/IGI)
Muscle cell cellular homeostasis GO:0046716
The cellular homeostatic process that preserves a muscle cell in a stable functional or structural state.
1 Q9TW65 (/IMP)

There are 3 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
Dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex GO:0016010
A multiprotein complex that forms a strong mechanical link between the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix; typical of, but not confined to, muscle cells. The complex is composed of transmembrane, cytoplasmic, and extracellular proteins, including dystrophin, sarcoglycans, dystroglycan, dystrobrevins, syntrophins, sarcospan, caveolin-3, and NO synthase.
1 Q9TW65 (/IDA)
Dystrobrevin complex GO:0016014
A protein complex comprising alpha- and beta-dystrobrevin; forms part of the dystrophin glycoprotein complex.
1 Q9TW65 (/IPI)
Striated muscle dense body GO:0055120
A vinculin-containing myofibril attachment structure of striated muscle that connects sarcomeres to the extracellular matrix. In nematode body wall muscle, the dense body performs the dual role of Z-disk and costamere.
