FunFam 11: Formate family transporter

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 4 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
High-affinity secondary active nitrite transmembrane transporter activity GO:0015513
Catalysis of the transfer of nitrite from one side of the membrane to the other, up the solute's concentration gradient. The transporter binds the solute and undergoes a series of conformational changes. Transport works equally well in either direction and is driven by a chemiosmotic source of energy. In high affinity transport the transporter is able to bind the solute even if it is only present at very low concentrations.
2 Q5AST3 (/IGI) Q5AST3 (/IGI)
High-affinity secondary active nitrite transmembrane transporter activity GO:0015513
Catalysis of the transfer of nitrite from one side of the membrane to the other, up the solute's concentration gradient. The transporter binds the solute and undergoes a series of conformational changes. Transport works equally well in either direction and is driven by a chemiosmotic source of energy. In high affinity transport the transporter is able to bind the solute even if it is only present at very low concentrations.
2 Q5AST3 (/IMP) Q5AST3 (/IMP)
Formate transmembrane transporter activity GO:0015499
Enables the transfer of formate from one side of a membrane to the other. Formate is also known as methanoate, the anion HCOO- derived from methanoic (formic) acid.
1 P35839 (/IDA)
Small molecule sensor activity GO:0140299
Binding to a small molecule and eliciting a change in the protein's activity in response to the intracellular level of that small molecule.
1 P38750 (/IMP)

There are 4 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
Nitrite transport GO:0015707
The directed movement of nitrite into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
2 Q5AST3 (/IGI) Q5AST3 (/IGI)
Nitrite transport GO:0015707
The directed movement of nitrite into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
2 Q5AST3 (/IMP) Q5AST3 (/IMP)
Chloride transport GO:0006821
The directed movement of chloride into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
1 P38750 (/IMP)
Regulation of chloride transport GO:2001225
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of chloride transport.
1 P38750 (/IMP)

There are 1 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Fungal-type vacuole GO:0000324
A vacuole that has both lytic and storage functions. The fungal vacuole is a large, membrane-bounded organelle that functions as a reservoir for the storage of small molecules (including polyphosphate, amino acids, several divalent cations (e.g. calcium), other ions, and other small molecules) as well as being the primary compartment for degradation. It is an acidic compartment, containing an ensemble of acid hydrolases. At least in S. cerevisiae, there are indications that the morphology of the vacuole is variable and correlated with the cell cycle, with logarithmically growing cells having a multilobed, reticulated vacuole, while stationary phase cells contain a single large structure.
