molecular function |
| GO:0003779 | | actin binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with monomeric or multimeric forms of actin, including actin filaments. |
| GO:0003785 | | actin monomer binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with monomeric actin, also known as G-actin. |
| GO:0005085 | | guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity | | Stimulates the exchange of guanyl nucleotides associated with a GTPase. Under normal cellular physiological conditions, the concentration of GTP is higher than that of GDP, favoring the replacement of GDP by GTP in association with the GTPase. |
biological process |
| GO:0044396 | | actin cortical patch organization | | A process that is carried out at the cellular level and results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an actin cortical patch, a discrete actin-containing structure found at the plasma membrane in cells, at sites of endocytosis. |
| GO:0030041 | | actin filament polymerization | | Assembly of actin filaments by the addition of actin monomers to a filament. |
| GO:1903475 | | mitotic actomyosin contractile ring assembly | | Any actomyosin contractile ring assembly that is involved in mitotic cytokinesis. |
| GO:1903477 | | mitotic contractile ring actin filament bundle assembly | | Any actin filament bundle assembly that is involved in mitotic actomyosin contractile ring assembly. |
| GO:0032220 | | plasma membrane fusion involved in cytogamy | | The joining of two or more lipid bilayer membranes that surround cells, that contributes to cytogamy. |
| GO:0043547 | | positive regulation of GTPase activity | | Any process that activates or increases the activity of a GTPase. |
| GO:0042989 | | sequestering of actin monomers | | The selective interaction of actin monomers with specific molecules that inhibit their polymerization by preventing their access to other monomers. |
cellular component |
| GO:0030479 | | actin cortical patch | | An endocytic patch that consists of an actin-containing structure found at the plasma membrane in cells; formed of networks of branched actin filaments that lie just beneath the plasma membrane and assemble, move, and disassemble rapidly. An example of this is the actin cortical patch found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. |
| GO:0015629 | | actin cytoskeleton | | The part of the cytoskeleton (the internal framework of a cell) composed of actin and associated proteins. Includes actin cytoskeleton-associated complexes. |
| GO:0051285 | | cell cortex of cell tip | | The region directly beneath the plasma membrane at the cell tip. The cell tip is the region at either end of the longest axis of a cylindrical or elongated cell. |
| GO:0005737 | | cytoplasm | | All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
| GO:0005856 | | cytoskeleton | | Any of the various filamentous elements that form the internal framework of cells, and typically remain after treatment of the cells with mild detergent to remove membrane constituents and soluble components of the cytoplasm. The term embraces intermediate filaments, microfilaments, microtubules, the microtrabecular lattice, and other structures characterized by a polymeric filamentous nature and long-range order within the cell. The various elements of the cytoskeleton not only serve in the maintenance of cellular shape but also have roles in other cellular functions, including cellular movement, cell division, endocytosis, and movement of organelles. |
| GO:0005829 | | cytosol | | The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. |
| GO:0005937 | | mating projection | | The projection formed by unicellular fungi in response to mating pheromone. |
| GO:0031097 | | medial cortex | | A medial cortical band overlaying the nucleus which acts as a landmark for contractile ring positioning and plays a role in cell cycle regulation. |
| GO:0005634 | | nucleus | | 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. |
