FunFam 834: Eater

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
Scavenger receptor activity GO:0005044
Combining with any modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or other polyanionic ligand and delivering the ligand into the cell via endocytosis. Ligands include acetylated and oxidized LDL, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, apoptotic cells, amyloid-beta fibrils, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
2 Q9VB78 (/IDA) Q9VB78 (/IDA)
Peptidoglycan binding GO:0042834
Interacting selectively and non-covalently, in a non-covalent manner, with peptidoglycan, any of a class of glycoconjugates found in bacterial cell walls.
2 Q9VB78 (/IDA) Q9VB78 (/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
Phagocytosis GO:0006909
A vesicle-mediated transport process that results in the engulfment of external particulate material by phagocytes and their delivery to the lysosome. The particles are initially contained within phagocytic vacuoles (phagosomes), which then fuse with primary lysosomes to effect digestion of the particles.
2 Q9VB78 (/IMP) Q9VB78 (/IMP)
Phagocytosis, recognition GO:0006910
The initial step in phagocytosis involving adhesion to bacteria, immune complexes and other particulate matter, or an apoptotic cell and based on recognition of factors such as bacterial cell wall components, opsonins like complement and antibody or protein receptors and lipids like phosphatidyl serine, and leading to intracellular signaling in the phagocytosing cell.
2 Q9VB78 (/IMP) Q9VB78 (/IMP)
Immune response GO:0006955
Any immune system process that functions in the calibrated response of an organism to a potential internal or invasive threat.
2 Q9VB78 (/IMP) Q9VB78 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion GO:0010811
Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell-substrate adhesion. Cell-substrate adhesion is the attachment of a cell to the underlying substrate via adhesion molecules.
2 Q9VB78 (/IMP) Q9VB78 (/IMP)
Defense response to bacterium GO:0042742
Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a bacterium that act to protect the cell or organism.
2 Q9VB78 (/IMP) Q9VB78 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of phagocytosis GO:0050766
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of phagocytosis.
2 Q9VB78 (/IMP) Q9VB78 (/IMP)
Defense response to Gram-positive bacterium GO:0050830
Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a Gram-positive bacterium that act to protect the cell or organism.
2 Q9VB78 (/IMP) Q9VB78 (/IMP)

There are 2 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
Cell surface GO:0009986
The external part of the cell wall and/or plasma membrane.
2 Q9VB78 (/IDA) Q9VB78 (/IDA)
Integral component of membrane GO:0016021
The component of a membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane.
