| GO:0008150 | 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:0003674 | molecular_function | A molecular process that can be carried out by the action of a single macromolecular machine, usually via direct physical interactions with other molecular entities. Function in this sense denotes an action, or activity, that a gene product (or a complex) performs. |
| GO:0005488 | binding | The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule. |
| GO:0044419 | biological process involved in interspecies interaction between organisms | Any process evolved to enable an interaction with an organism of a different species. |
| GO:0051701 | biological process involved in interaction with host | An interaction between two organisms living together in more or less intimate association. The term host is used for the larger (macro) of the two members of a symbiosis; the various forms of symbiosis include parasitism, commensalism and mutualism. |
| GO:0044403 | biological process involved in symbiotic interaction | A process carried out by gene products in an organism that enable the organism to engage in a symbiotic relationship, a more or less intimate association, with another organism. The various forms of symbiosis include parasitism, in which the association is disadvantageous or destructive to one of the organisms; mutualism, in which the association is advantageous, or often necessary to one or both and not harmful to either; and commensalism, in which one member of the association benefits while the other is not affected. However, mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism are often not discrete categories of interactions and should rather be perceived as a continuum of interaction ranging from parasitism to mutualism. In fact, the direction of a symbiotic interaction can change during the lifetime of the symbionts due to developmental changes as well as changes in the biotic/abiotic environment in which the interaction occurs. Microscopic symbionts are often referred to as endosymbionts. |
| GO:0046812 | host cell surface binding | Binding to the surface of a host cell. |
| GO:0044650 | adhesion of symbiont to host cell | The attachment of a symbiont to a host cell via adhesion molecules, general stickiness etc., either directly or indirectly. |
| GO:0044406 | adhesion of symbiont to host | The attachment of a symbiont to its host via either adhesion molecules, general stickiness, or other mechanisms. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction. |
| GO:0046789 | host cell surface receptor binding | Binding to a receptor on the host cell surface. |
