FunFam 6: Ammonium 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 5 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
Ammonium transmembrane transporter activity GO:0008519
Enables the transfer of ammonium from one side of a membrane to the other. Ammonium is the cation NH4+ which is formed from N2 by root-nodule bacteria in leguminous plants and is an excretory product in ammonotelic animals.
5 P54144 (/IDA) P54144 (/IDA) Q9LK16 (/IDA) Q9SVT8 (/IDA) Q9SVT8 (/IDA)
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).
3 P54144 (/IPI) P54144 (/IPI) Q9SQH9 (/IPI)
Ammonium transmembrane transporter activity GO:0008519
Enables the transfer of ammonium from one side of a membrane to the other. Ammonium is the cation NH4+ which is formed from N2 by root-nodule bacteria in leguminous plants and is an excretory product in ammonotelic animals.
3 P54144 (/IMP) P54144 (/IMP) Q9SQH9 (/IMP)
High-affinity secondary active ammonium transmembrane transporter activity GO:0015398
Enables the transfer of ammonium from one side of a membrane to the other, up its 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. Secondary active transporters include symporters and antiporters. In high-affinity transport the transporter is able to bind the solute even if it is only present at very low concentrations.
2 Q9SVT8 (/IMP) Q9SVT8 (/IMP)
Protein self-association GO:0043621
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a domain within the same polypeptide.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Lateral root formation GO:0010311
The process that gives rise to a lateral root. This process pertains to the initial formation of a structure from unspecified parts. A lateral root primordium represents an organized group of cells derived from the root pericycle that will differentiate into a new root, as opposed to the initiation of the main root from the embryo proper.
3 P54144 (/IMP) P54144 (/IMP) Q9SQH9 (/IMP)
Ammonium transport GO:0015696
The directed movement of ammonium into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Ammonium is the cation NH4+ which is formed from N2 by root-nodule bacteria in leguminous plants and is an excretory product in ammonotelic animals.
3 P54144 (/IDA) P54144 (/IDA) Q9LK16 (/IDA)
Ammonium transport GO:0015696
The directed movement of ammonium into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Ammonium is the cation NH4+ which is formed from N2 by root-nodule bacteria in leguminous plants and is an excretory product in ammonotelic animals.
3 O04161 (/IGI) P58905 (/IGI) Q9FVN0 (/IGI)
Lateral root branching GO:0080181
Any process involved in the formation of branches in lateral roots.
3 P54144 (/IMP) P54144 (/IMP) Q9SQH9 (/IMP)
Response to abscisic acid GO:0009737
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 abscisic acid stimulus.
2 P54144 (/IDA) P54144 (/IDA)
Ammonium transport GO:0015696
The directed movement of ammonium into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Ammonium is the cation NH4+ which is formed from N2 by root-nodule bacteria in leguminous plants and is an excretory product in ammonotelic animals.
2 Q9SQH9 (/IMP) Q9ZPJ8 (/IMP)
Protein polymerization GO:0051258
The process of creating protein polymers, compounds composed of a large number of component monomers; polymeric proteins may be made up of different or identical monomers. Polymerization occurs by the addition of extra monomers to an existing poly- or oligomeric protein.
2 P54144 (/IDA) P54144 (/IDA)
Ammonium transmembrane transport GO:0072488
The process in which ammonium is transported across a membrane. Ammonium is the cation NH4+.
2 Q9SVT8 (/IDA) Q9SVT8 (/IDA)
Response to karrikin GO:0080167
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 a karrikin stimulus. Karrikins are signaling molecules in smoke from burning vegetation that trigger seed germination for many angiosperms (flowering plants).
2 P54144 (/IEP) P54144 (/IEP)
Response to nematode GO:0009624
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 a stimulus from a nematode.

Methylammonium transport GO:0015843
The directed movement of methylammonium into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.

Nucleus GO:0005634
A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
