molecular function |
| GO:0045330 | | aspartyl esterase activity | | Catalysis of the hydrolysis of an ester bond by a mechanism involving a catalytically active aspartic acid residue. |
| GO:0016787 | | hydrolase activity | | Catalysis of the hydrolysis of various bonds, e.g. C-O, C-N, C-C, phosphoric anhydride bonds, etc. Hydrolase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 3. |
| GO:0030599 | | pectinesterase activity | | Catalysis of the reaction: pectin + n H2O = n methanol + pectate. |
biological process |
| GO:0042545 | | cell wall modification | | The series of events leading to chemical and structural alterations of an existing cell wall that can result in loosening, increased extensibility or disassembly. |
| GO:0071555 | | cell wall organization | | A process that results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of the cell wall, the rigid or semi-rigid envelope lying outside the cell membrane of plant, fungal and most prokaryotic cells, maintaining their shape and protecting them from osmotic lysis. |
| GO:0045490 | | pectin catabolic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of pectin, a polymer containing a backbone of alpha-1,4-linked D-galacturonic acid residues. |
cellular component |
| GO:0005618 | | cell wall | | The rigid or semi-rigid envelope lying outside the cell membrane of plant, fungal, most prokaryotic cells and some protozoan parasites, maintaining their shape and protecting them from osmotic lysis. In plants it is made of cellulose and, often, lignin; in fungi it is composed largely of polysaccharides; in bacteria it is composed of peptidoglycan; in protozoan parasites such as Giardia species, it's made of carbohydrates and proteins. |
| GO:0005576 | | extracellular region | | The space external to the outermost structure of a cell. For cells without external protective or external encapsulating structures this refers to space outside of the plasma membrane. This term covers the host cell environment outside an intracellular parasite. |
