molecular function |
| GO:0015450 | | P-P-bond-hydrolysis-driven protein transmembrane transporter activity | | Primary active carrier-mediated transport of a protein across a membrane, driven by the hydrolysis of the diphosphate bond of inorganic pyrophosphate, ATP, or another nucleoside triphosphate. The transport protein may or may not be transiently phosphorylated, but the substrate is not phosphorylated. |
| GO:0030943 | | mitochondrion targeting sequence binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a mitochondrion targeting sequence, a specific peptide sequence that acts as a signal to localize the protein within the mitochondrion. |
| GO:0005515 | | protein binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules). |
| GO:0015266 | | protein channel activity | | Enables the energy-independent facilitated diffusion, mediated by passage of proteins through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel. |
| GO:0051082 | | unfolded protein binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an unfolded protein. |
biological process |
| GO:0006886 | | intracellular protein transport | | The directed movement of proteins in a cell, including the movement of proteins between specific compartments or structures within a cell, such as organelles of a eukaryotic cell. |
| GO:0016236 | | macroautophagy | | The major inducible pathway for the general turnover of cytoplasmic constituents in eukaryotic cells, it is also responsible for the degradation of active cytoplasmic enzymes and organelles during nutrient starvation. Macroautophagy involves the formation of double-membrane-bounded autophagosomes which enclose the cytoplasmic constituent targeted for degradation in a membrane-bounded structure. Autophagosomes then fuse with a lysosome (or vacuole) releasing single-membrane-bounded autophagic bodies that are then degraded within the lysosome (or vacuole). Though once thought to be a purely non-selective process, it appears that some types of macroautophagy, e.g. macropexophagy, macromitophagy, may involve selective targeting of the targets to be degraded. |
| GO:0070096 | | mitochondrial outer membrane translocase complex assembly | | The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a mitochondrial outer membrane translocase complex. |
| GO:0030150 | | protein import into mitochondrial matrix | | The import of proteins across the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes into the matrix. Unfolded proteins enter the mitochondrial matrix with a chaperone protein; the information required to target the precursor protein from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix is contained within its N-terminal matrix-targeting sequence. Translocation of precursors to the matrix occurs at the rare sites where the outer and inner membranes are close together. |
| GO:0006605 | | protein targeting | | The process of targeting specific proteins to particular regions of the cell, typically membrane-bounded subcellular organelles. Usually requires an organelle specific protein sequence motif. |
| GO:0006626 | | protein targeting to mitochondrion | | The process of directing proteins towards and into the mitochondrion, usually mediated by mitochondrial proteins that recognize signals contained within the imported protein. |
| GO:0015031 | | protein transport | | The directed movement of proteins into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. |
| GO:0016031 | | tRNA import into mitochondrion | | The directed movement of tRNA, transfer ribonucleic acid, from the cytoplasm into a mitochondrion. |
| GO:0006810 | | transport | | The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) or cellular components (such as complexes and organelles) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some agent such as a transporter, pore or motor protein. |
cellular component |
| GO:0044233 | | ER-mitochondrion membrane contact site | | A zone of apposition between endoplasmic-reticulum and mitochondrial membranes, structured by bridging complexes. These contact sites are thought to facilitate inter-organelle calcium and phospholipid exchange. |
| GO:0016021 | | integral component of membrane | | 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. |
| GO:0031307 | | integral component of mitochondrial outer membrane | | The component of the mitochondrial outer membrane consisting of the gene products having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane. |
| GO:0016020 | | membrane | | A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it an attached to it. |
| GO:0005740 | | mitochondrial envelope | | The double lipid bilayer enclosing the mitochondrion and separating its contents from the cell cytoplasm; includes the intermembrane space. |
| GO:0005741 | | mitochondrial outer membrane | | The outer, i.e. cytoplasm-facing, lipid bilayer of the mitochondrial envelope. |
| GO:0005742 | | mitochondrial outer membrane translocase complex | | A large complex of the mitochondrial outer membrane that mediates transport of proteins into all mitochondrial compartments. |
| GO:0005739 | | mitochondrion | | A semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration. |
