Polarisome Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Controls thepolarized (unidimensional) cell growth in yeast and other fungi. Required for tip growth and acts as a central hub for coordinating exocytosis with actin cable formation. One of the targets of polarisome is the Rab GTPase SEC4, which associates with secretory vesicles and stimulates their fusion with the exocytic sites at the plasma membrane. Thus, the primary function of polarisome appears to be guiding polarized transport and secretion along actin cables and bringing secretory vesicles to the sites of polarized growth.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
