FunFam 45: SCAR family protein

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 2 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
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).
5 Q5XPJ6 (/IPI) Q5XPJ9 (/IPI) Q6AWX6 (/IPI) Q9LP46 (/IPI) Q9LP46 (/IPI)
Actin monomer binding GO:0003785
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with monomeric actin, also known as G-actin.
1 Q6AWX6 (/IDA)

There are 7 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
Positive regulation of actin nucleation GO:0051127
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of actin nucleation, the initial step in the formation of an actin filament in which actin monomers combine to form a new filament.
5 Q5XPJ6 (/IMP) Q5XPJ9 (/IMP) Q6AWX6 (/IMP) Q9LP46 (/IMP) Q9LP46 (/IMP)
Trichome morphogenesis GO:0010090
The process in which the structures of a hair cell (trichome) cell are generated and organized. This process occurs while the initially relatively unspecialized epidermal cell is acquiring the specialized features of a hair cell. An example of this process is found in Arabidopsis thaliana.
1 Q5XPJ9 (/IMP)
Trichome morphogenesis GO:0010090
The process in which the structures of a hair cell (trichome) cell are generated and organized. This process occurs while the initially relatively unspecialized epidermal cell is acquiring the specialized features of a hair cell. An example of this process is found in Arabidopsis thaliana.
1 Q5XPJ9 (/TAS)
Trichome branching GO:0010091
Any process involved in the formation of branches in plant hair cells. An example of this process is found in Arabidopsis thaliana.
1 Q5XPJ9 (/IMP)
Actin cytoskeleton organization GO:0030036
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures comprising actin filaments and their associated proteins.
1 Q5XPJ9 (/IMP)
Actin nucleation GO:0045010
The initial step in the formation of an actin filament, in which actin monomers combine to form a new filament. Nucleation is slow relative to the subsequent addition of more monomers to extend the filament.
1 Q5XPJ9 (/TAS)
Positive regulation of actin nucleation GO:0051127
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of actin nucleation, the initial step in the formation of an actin filament in which actin monomers combine to form a new filament.
1 Q5XPJ9 (/ISS)

There are 9 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

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
SCAR complex GO:0031209
A pentameric complex that includes orthologues of human PIR121, Nap1, Abi, SCAR, and HSPC300 and regulates actin polymerization and/or depolymerization through small GTPase mediated signal transduction.
5 Q5XPJ6 (/TAS) Q5XPJ9 (/TAS) Q6AWX6 (/TAS) Q9LP46 (/TAS) Q9LP46 (/TAS)
Cytoplasm GO:0005737
All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
1 Q5XPJ9 (/IDA)
Plasma membrane GO:0005886
The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
1 Q5XPJ9 (/IDA)
Chloroplast GO:0009507
A chlorophyll-containing plastid with thylakoids organized into grana and frets, or stroma thylakoids, and embedded in a stroma.
1 Q5XPJ6 (/IDA)
Plastoglobule GO:0010287
A lipoprotein particle present in chloroplasts. They are rich in non-polar lipids (triglycerides, esters) as well as in prenylquinones, plastoquinone and tocopherols. Plastoglobules are often associated with thylakoid membranes, suggesting an exchange of lipids with thylakoids.
1 Q5XPJ6 (/IDA)
Membrane GO:0016020
A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it an attached to it.
1 Q6AWX6 (/IDA)
SCAR complex GO:0031209
A pentameric complex that includes orthologues of human PIR121, Nap1, Abi, SCAR, and HSPC300 and regulates actin polymerization and/or depolymerization through small GTPase mediated signal transduction.
1 Q5XPJ9 (/ISS)
Intracellular organelle GO:0043229
Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, occurring within the cell. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton. Excludes the plasma membrane.
1 Q6AWX6 (/IDA)
Cell periphery GO:0071944
The part of a cell encompassing the cell cortex, the plasma membrane, and any external encapsulating structures.
