|
proteolysis
|
The hydrolysis of proteins into smaller polypeptides and/or amino acids by cleavage of their peptide bonds. |
|
GO:0008152
|
metabolic process
|
The chemical reactions and pathways, including anabolism and catabolism, by which living organisms transform chemical substances. Metabolic processes typically transform small molecules, but also include macromolecular processes such as DNA repair and replication, and protein synthesis and degradation. |
|
GO:0019538
|
protein metabolic process
|
The chemical reactions and pathways involving a specific protein, rather than of proteins in general. Includes protein modification. |
|
GO:0071704
|
organic substance metabolic process
|
The chemical reactions and pathways involving an organic substance, any molecular entity containing carbon. |
|
GO:0016485
|
protein processing
|
Any protein maturation process achieved by the cleavage of a peptide bond or bonds within a protein. Protein maturation is the process leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of a protein. |
|
GO:0044238
|
primary metabolic process
|
The chemical reactions and pathways involving those compounds which are formed as a part of the normal anabolic and catabolic processes. These processes take place in most, if not all, cells of the organism. |
|
GO:0031639
|
plasminogen activation
|
The process in which inactive plasminogen is processed to active plasmin. This process includes cleavage at an internal Arg-Val site to form an N-terminal A-chain and C-terminal B-chain held together by a disulfide bond, and can include further proteolytic cleavage events to remove the preactivation peptide. |
|
GO:0008150
|
biological_process
|
Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. |
|
GO:0043170
|
macromolecule metabolic process
|
The chemical reactions and pathways involving macromolecules, any molecule of high relative molecular mass, the structure of which essentially comprises the multiple repetition of units derived, actually or conceptually, from molecules of low relative molecular mass. |
|
GO:0010467
|
gene expression
|
The process in which a gene's sequence is converted into a mature gene product or products (proteins or RNA). This includes the production of an RNA transcript as well as any processing to produce a mature RNA product or an mRNA (for protein-coding genes) and the translation of that mRNA into protein. Protein maturation is included when required to form an active form of a product from an inactive precursor form. |
|
GO:0051604
|
protein maturation
|
Any process leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of a protein. |
|
GO:0031638
|
zymogen activation
|
The proteolytic processing of an inactive enzyme to an active form. |
