| 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:0004857 | | enzyme inhibitor activity | | Binds to and stops, prevents or reduces the activity of an enzyme. |
| | 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. |
| | GO:0046910 | | pectinesterase inhibitor activity | | Stops, prevents or reduces the activity of any pectinesterase enzyme. |
| 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:0009835 | | fruit ripening | | An aging process that has as participant a fruit. Ripening causes changes in one or more characteristics of a fruit (color, aroma, flavor, texture, hardness, cell wall structure) and may make it more attractive to animals and aid in seed dispersal. |
| | GO:0043086 | | negative regulation of catalytic activity | | Any process that stops or reduces the activity of an enzyme. |
| | 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:0071944 | | cell periphery | | The part of a cell encompassing the cell cortex, the plasma membrane, and any external encapsulating structures. |
| | 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. |
