FunFam 3: Type IV pilin

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.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Cell projection organization GO:0030030
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon.

Type IV pilus biogenesis GO:0043683
A cellular process that results in the biosynthesis of constituent macromolecules, assembly, and arrangement of constituent parts of a type IV pilus. A type IV pilus is composed of a pilus fiber and approximately ten proteins at its base; type IV pili play a role in cell motility, adherence to substrates, and aggregation.

Pathogenesis GO:0009405
The set of specific processes that generate the ability of an organism to induce an abnormal, generally detrimental state in another organism.
1 P04739 (/IMP)
Type IV pilus-dependent motility GO:0043107
Any process involved in the controlled movement of a bacterial cell which is dependent on the presence of type IV pili. Includes social gliding motility and twitching motility.
1 P04739 (/IDA)
Type IV pilus-dependent motility GO:0043107
Any process involved in the controlled movement of a bacterial cell which is dependent on the presence of type IV pili. Includes social gliding motility and twitching motility.
1 P04739 (/IMP)
Cell adhesion involved in single-species biofilm formation GO:0043709
The attachment of a cell to a solid substrate, via cell adhesion molecules, during the formation of a biofilm composed of microorganisms of the same species.
1 P04739 (/IMP)
Single-species biofilm formation on inanimate substrate GO:0044011
A process in which microorganisms of the same species attach to and grow on an inanimate surface such as a rock or pipe, and produce extracellular polymers that facilitate attachment and matrix formation, resulting in an alteration in the phenotype of the organisms with respect to growth rate and gene transcription.
1 P04739 (/IMP)
Regulation of calcium-mediated signaling GO:0050848
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of calcium-mediated signaling, the process in which a cell uses calcium ions to convert an extracellular signal into a response.
1 P04739 (/IMP)
Cell-cell adhesion GO:0098609
The attachment of one cell to another cell via adhesion molecules.
1 P04739 (/IDA)
