WormMine: GOTerm GO:0140090 membrane curvature sensor activity GO

Name
GO

Identifier	Name	Description
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:0008289	lipid binding	Binding to a lipid.
GO:0005515	protein binding	Binding to a protein.
GO:0140299	molecular sensor activity	Binding to a molecule and eliciting a change in the protein's activity in response to the intracellular level of that molecule.
GO:0098772	molecular function regulator activity	A molecular function regulator regulates the activity of its target via non-covalent binding that does not result in covalent modification to the target. Examples of molecular function regulators include regulatory subunits of multimeric enzymes and channels. Mechanisms of regulation include allosteric changes in the target and competitive inhibition.
GO:0140090	membrane curvature sensor activity	Preferential binding of proteins on curved membranes. The binding to curved membranes by insertion (aka wedging) to curved membranes is mediated by both the hydrophobic and hydrophilic faces of the helix of membrane curvature sensing (MCS) proteins.
