DNF3-CRF1 P4-ATPase complex 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
A membrane pump which actively translocates, or flips, phospholipids across cell membranes from the exoplasmic to the cytoplasmic leaflet of the lipid bilayer. This generates and maintains membrane lipid asymmetry, a property essential for a wide variety of cellular processes such as vesicle budding and intracellular vesicle trafficking. Transport is accomplished by cyclic changes between two main enzyme conformations, during which the DNF3 ATPase is phosphorylated by ATP at a conserved aspartate residue (Asp-566) and subsequently dephosphorylated. These processes are coupled to vectorial transport and counter-transport by a controlled opening and closing of cytoplasmic and exoplasmic pathways, which give access to the ion-binding sites that are buried inside the membrane-spanning region of the pump.
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.
