|
biological_process
|
A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence. |
GO:0051234
|
establishment of localization
|
Any process that localizes a substance or cellular component. This may occur via movement, tethering or selective degradation. |
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 or a transporter complex, a pore or a motor protein. |
GO:0055085
|
transmembrane transport
|
The process in which a solute is transported across a lipid bilayer, from one side of a membrane to the other. |
GO:0005575
|
cellular_component
|
A location, relative to cellular compartments and structures, occupied by a macromolecular machine. There are three types of cellular components described in the gene ontology: (1) the cellular anatomical entity where a gene product carries out a molecular function (e.g., plasma membrane, cytoskeleton) or membrane-enclosed compartments (e.g., mitochondrion); (2) virion components, where viral proteins act, and (3) the stable macromolecular complexes of which gene product are parts (e.g., the clathrin complex). |
GO:0005622
|
intracellular anatomical structure
|
A component of a cell contained within (but not including) the plasma membrane. In eukaryotes it includes the nucleus and cytoplasm. |
GO:0110165
|
cellular anatomical structure
|
A part of a cellular organism consisting of a material entity with granularity above the level of a protein complex but below that of an anatomical system. Note that cellular organisms exclude viruses. |
GO:0051649
|
establishment of localization in cell
|
Any process, occurring in a cell, that localizes a substance or cellular component. This may occur via movement, tethering or selective degradation. |
GO:0051641
|
cellular localization
|
A cellular localization process whereby a substance or cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location within a cell including the localization of substances or cellular entities to the cell membrane. |
GO:0046907
|
intracellular transport
|
The directed movement of substances within a cell. |
GO:0071705
|
nitrogen compound transport
|
The directed movement of nitrogen-containing compounds into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. |
GO:0033036
|
macromolecule localization
|
Any process in which a macromolecule is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. |
GO:0051668
|
localization within membrane
|
Any process in which a substance or cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location within a membrane. |
GO:0008104
|
protein localization
|
Any process in which a protein is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. |
GO:0070727
|
cellular macromolecule localization
|
Any process in which a macromolecule is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location at the level of a cell. Localization at the cellular level encompasses movement within the cell, from within the cell to the cell surface, or from one location to another at the surface of a cell. |
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:0045184
|
establishment of protein localization
|
The directed movement of a protein to a specific location. |
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: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:0072594
|
establishment of protein localization to organelle
|
The directed movement of a protein to a specific location on or in an organelle. Encompasses establishment of localization in the membrane or lumen of a membrane-bounded organelle. |
GO:0033365
|
protein localization to organelle
|
A process in which a protein is transported to, or maintained in, a location within an organelle. |
GO:0006612
|
protein targeting to membrane
|
The process of directing proteins towards a membrane, usually using signals contained within the protein. |
GO:0090150
|
establishment of protein localization to membrane
|
The directed movement of a protein to a specific location in a membrane. |
GO:0072657
|
protein localization to membrane
|
A process in which a protein is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location in a membrane. |
GO:0045047
|
protein targeting to ER
|
The process of directing proteins towards the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) using signals contained within the protein. One common mechanism uses a 16- to 30-residue signal sequence, typically located at the N-terminus of the protein and containing positively charged amino acids followed by a continuous stretch of hydrophobic residues, which directs the ribosome to the ER membrane and initiates transport of the growing polypeptide across the ER membrane. |
