FunFam 275: usherin

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 6 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 TermAnnotationsEvidence
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).
2 O75445 (/IPI) Q2QI47 (/IPI)
Collagen binding GO:0005518
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with collagen, a group of fibrous proteins of very high tensile strength that form the main component of connective tissue in animals. Collagen is highly enriched in glycine (some regions are 33% glycine) and proline, occurring predominantly as 3-hydroxyproline (about 20%).

1 Q2QI47 (/ISO)
Myosin binding GO:0017022
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any part of a myosin complex; myosins are any of a superfamily of molecular motor proteins that bind to actin and use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to generate force and movement along actin filaments.
1 Q2QI47 (/IPI)
Myosin binding GO:0017022
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any part of a myosin complex; myosins are any of a superfamily of molecular motor proteins that bind to actin and use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to generate force and movement along actin filaments.
1 O75445 (/ISS)
Protein homodimerization activity GO:0042803
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein to form a homodimer.

There are 17 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 TermAnnotationsEvidence
Establishment of protein localization GO:0045184
The directed movement of a protein to a specific location.
2 O75445 (/ISS) Q8K3K1 (/ISS)
Photoreceptor cell maintenance GO:0045494
Any process preventing the degeneration of the photoreceptor, a specialized cell type that is sensitive to light.
2 O75445 (/IMP) Q2QI47 (/IMP)
Sensory perception of light stimulus GO:0050953
The series of events required for an organism to receive a sensory light stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process.
2 O75445 (/IMP) Q1MTD2 (/IMP)
Sensory perception of sound GO:0007605
The series of events required for an organism to receive an auditory stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Sonic stimuli are detected in the form of vibrations and are processed to form a sound.
1 O75445 (/IMP)
Sensory perception of sound GO:0007605
The series of events required for an organism to receive an auditory stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Sonic stimuli are detected in the form of vibrations and are processed to form a sound.
1 Q2QI47 (/ISO)
Response to auditory stimulus GO:0010996
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an auditory stimulus.
1 Q1MTD2 (/IMP)
Hair cell differentiation GO:0035315
The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a hair cell.
1 Q2QI47 (/IEP)
Hair cell differentiation GO:0035315
The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a hair cell.
1 O75445 (/ISS)
Eye photoreceptor cell development GO:0042462
Development of a photoreceptor, a sensory cell in the eye that reacts to the presence of light. They usually contain a pigment that undergoes a chemical change when light is absorbed, thus stimulating a nerve.
