FunFam 21: F-actin-capping protein subunit alpha

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
Actin filament binding GO:0051015
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an actin filament, also known as F-actin, a helical filamentous polymer of globular G-actin subunits.

There are 9 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
Actin cytoskeleton organization GO:0030036
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures comprising actin filaments and their associated proteins.
1 Q10434 (/IGI)
Actin cortical patch organization GO:0044396
A process that is carried out at the cellular level and results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an actin cortical patch, a discrete actin-containing structure found at the plasma membrane in cells, at sites of endocytosis.

Actin cortical patch organization GO:0044396
A process that is carried out at the cellular level and results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an actin cortical patch, a discrete actin-containing structure found at the plasma membrane in cells, at sites of endocytosis.
1 Q10434 (/IMP)
Barbed-end actin filament capping GO:0051016
The binding of a protein or protein complex to the barbed (or plus) end of an actin filament, thus preventing the addition, exchange or removal of further actin subunits.
1 Q10434 (/IDA)
Negative regulation of actin filament annealing GO:0110055
Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of actin filament annealing, i.e. the end-to-end joining of existing actin filaments.
1 Q10434 (/IDA)
Mitotic actomyosin contractile ring contraction GO:1902404
Any actomyosin contractile ring contraction that is involved in mitotic cell cycle.
1 Q10434 (/IMP)
Mitotic actomyosin contractile ring assembly GO:1903475
Any actomyosin contractile ring assembly that is involved in mitotic cytokinesis.
1 Q10434 (/IGI)
Positive regulation of Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation GO:2000601
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation.
1 Q10434 (/IDA)
Negative regulation of barbed-end actin filament capping GO:2000813
Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of barbed-end actin filament capping.

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
F-actin capping protein complex GO:0008290
A heterodimer consisting of alpha and beta subunits that binds to and caps the barbed ends of actin filaments, thereby regulating the polymerization of actin monomers but not severing actin filaments.
1 Q10434 (/IDA)
Actin cortical patch GO:0030479
An endocytic patch that consists of an actin-containing structure found at the plasma membrane in cells; formed of networks of branched actin filaments that lie just beneath the plasma membrane and assemble, move, and disassemble rapidly. An example of this is the actin cortical patch found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
1 Q10434 (/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 Q10434 (/HDA)
Cell tip GO:0051286
The region at the end of the longest axis of a cylindrical or elongated cell.
