CORVET tethering 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
Multisubunit tethering complex involved in early endosomal fusions by cross-linking two membranes, and facilitating the formation of a SNARE complex during fusion. Cooperates with Rab GTPases to capture vesicles and trap them prior to the action of SNAREs. Catalyses either vacuole fission into sub-compartments or vacuole-endosome fusion, or both, by interacting with the Rab GTPase VPS21 (P36017) to promote tethering and fusion of RAB5/VPS21-positive membranes.
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.
