| GO:0065003 | protein-containing complex assembly | biological_process | The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of macromolecules to form a protein-containing complex. [GOC:jl] |
| GO:0012505 | endomembrane system | cellular_component | A collection of membranous structures involved in transport within the cell. The main components of the endomembrane system are endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, vesicles, cell membrane and nuclear envelope. Members of the endomembrane system pass materials through each other or though the use of vesicles. [GOC:lh] |
| GO:0005886 | plasma membrane | cellular_component | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363] |
| GO:0043933 | protein-containing complex organization | biological_process | Any process in which macromolecules aggregate, disaggregate, or are modified, resulting in the formation, disassembly, or alteration of a protein complex. [GOC:mah] |
| GO:0048471 | perinuclear region of cytoplasm | cellular_component | Cytoplasm situated near, or occurring around, the nucleus. [GOC:jid] |
| GO:0006887 | exocytosis | biological_process | A process of secretion by a cell that results in the release of intracellular molecules (e.g. hormones, matrix proteins) contained within a membrane-bounded vesicle. Exocytosis can occur either by full fusion, when the vesicle collapses into the plasma membrane, or by a kiss-and-run mechanism that involves the formation of a transient contact, a pore, between a granule (for exemple of chromaffin cells) and the plasma membrane. The latter process most of the time leads to only partial secretion of the granule content. Exocytosis begins with steps that prepare vesicles for fusion with the membrane (tethering and docking) and ends when molecules are secreted from the cell. [GOC:mah, ISBN:0716731363, PMID:22323285] |
| GO:0006996 | organelle organization | biological_process | A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an organelle within a cell. An organelle is an organized structure of distinctive morphology and function. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton. Excludes the plasma membrane. [GOC:mah] |
| GO:0061024 | membrane organization | biological_process | A process which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a membrane. A membrane is a double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells, and, in eukaryotes, many organelles; may be a single or double lipid bilayer; also includes associated proteins. [GOC:dph, GOC:tb] |
| GO:0061025 | membrane fusion | biological_process | The membrane organization process that joins two lipid bilayers to form a single membrane. [GOC:dph, GOC:tb] |
| GO:0016043 | cellular component organization | biological_process | A process that results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a cellular component. [GOC:ai, GOC:jl, GOC:mah] |
| GO:0006906 | vesicle fusion | biological_process | Fusion of the membrane of a transport vesicle with its target membrane. [GOC:jid] |
| GO:0009987 | cellular process | biological_process | Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. [GOC:go_curators, GOC:isa_complete] |
| GO:0019905 | syntaxin binding | molecular_function | Binding to a syntaxin, a SNAP receptor involved in the docking of synaptic vesicles at the presynaptic zone of a synapse. [ISBN:0198506732] |
| GO:0022607 | cellular component assembly | biological_process | The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a cellular component. [GOC:isa_complete] |
| GO:0016050 | vesicle organization | biological_process | A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a vesicle. [GOC:mah] |
| GO:0060090 | molecular adaptor activity | molecular_function | The binding activity of a molecule that brings together two or more molecules through a selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric interaction, permitting those molecules to function in a coordinated way. [GOC:mtg_MIT_16mar07, GOC:vw] |
| GO:0098793 | presynapse | cellular_component | The part of a synapse that is part of the presynaptic cell. [GOC:dos] |
| GO:0005515 | protein binding | molecular_function | Binding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators] |
| GO:0071840 | cellular component organization or biogenesis | biological_process | A process that results in the biosynthesis of constituent macromolecules, assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a cellular component. [GOC:mah] |
| GO:0031201 | SNARE complex | cellular_component | A protein complex involved in membrane fusion; a stable ternary complex consisting of a four-helix bundle, usually formed from one R-SNARE and three Q-SNAREs with an ionic layer sandwiched between hydrophobic layers. One well-characterized example is the neuronal SNARE complex formed of synaptobrevin 2, syntaxin 1a, and SNAP-25. [GOC:bhm, GOC:pr, PMID:10872468, PMID:19450911] |
| GO:0030674 | protein-macromolecule adaptor activity | molecular_function | The binding activity of a protein that brings together two or more macromolecules in contact, permitting those molecules to function in a coordinated way. The adaptor can bring together two proteins, or a protein and another macromolecule such as a lipid or a nucleic acid. [GOC:bf, GOC:mah, GOC:vw] |
| GO:0099500 | vesicle fusion to plasma membrane | biological_process | Fusion of the membrane of a vesicle with the plasma membrane, thereby releasing its contents into the extracellular space. [GOC:aruk, GOC:bc, ISBN:0071120009, PMID:18618940] |
