FunFam 12: G protein alpha subunit

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
Pheromone-dependent signal transduction involved in conjugation with cellular fusion GO:0000750
A signal transduction process resulting in the relay, amplification or dampening of a signal generated in response to pheromone exposure in organisms that undergo conjugation with cellular fusion. An example of this process is found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
2 P08539 (/IGI) Q5AK05 (/IGI)
Pheromone-dependent signal transduction involved in conjugation with cellular fusion GO:0000750
A signal transduction process resulting in the relay, amplification or dampening of a signal generated in response to pheromone exposure in organisms that undergo conjugation with cellular fusion. An example of this process is found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
2 P08539 (/IMP) Q5AK05 (/IMP)
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 P08539 (/IMP)
Nuclear migration involved in conjugation with cellular fusion GO:0000743
The microtubule-based movement of nuclei towards one another as a prelude to karyogamy in organisms undergoing conjugation with cellular fusion.
1 P08539 (/IMP)
Cell morphogenesis involved in conjugation with cellular fusion GO:0000753
The change in form (cell shape and size) that occurs during sexual reproduction in order to facilitate direct contact between the compatible mating types in organisms that undergo conjugation cellular fusion.
1 Q5AK05 (/IMP)
Adaptation of signaling pathway by response to pheromone involved in conjugation with cellular fusion GO:0000754
In organisms that undergo conjugation with cellular fusion, the process resulting in desensitization following exposure to pheromone stimulus that act to down-regulate further stimulation or block initial conjugation responses. An example of this is the adaptation to pheromone during conjugation with cellular fusion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
1 P08539 (/IMP)
Inositol lipid-mediated signaling GO:0048017
A series of molecular signals in which a cell uses an inositol-containing lipid to convert a signal into a response. Inositol lipids include the phosphoinositides (phosphatidylinositol and its phosphorylated derivatives), ceramides containing inositol, and inositol glycolipids.
1 P08539 (/IMP)
Regulation of MAPK export from nucleus GO:0071701
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of a MAP kinase from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
1 P08539 (/IMP)
