GO:0000127 : transcription factor TFIIIC complex
OLD: A transcription factor complex that is involved in regulating transcription from RNA polymerase III (Pol III) promoters. TFIIIC contains three conserved subunits that associate with the proximal Pol III promoter element, and additional subunits that associate with sequence elements downstream of the promoter and are more diverged among species.
NEW: A heterotrimeric transcription factor complex that is involved in regulating transcription from RNA polymerase III (Pol III) promoters. TFIIIC contains three conserved subunits that associate with the proximal Pol III promoter element, and additional subunits that associate with sequence elements downstream of the promoter and are more diverged among species. It also functions as a boundary element to partition genome content into distinct domains outside Pol III promoter regions.
GO:0006907 : pinocytosis
OLD: An endocytosis process that results in the uptake of liquid material by cells from their external environment; literally 'cell drinking'. Liquid is enclosed in vesicles, formed by invagination of the plasma membrane. These vesicles then move into the cell and pass their contents to endosomes.
NEW: An endocytosis process that results in the uptake of liquid material by cells from their external environment; literally 'cell drinking'. Liquid is enclosed in vesicles, called pinosomes, formed by invagination of the plasma membrane.
GO:0009307 : DNA restriction-modification system
OLD: Any process that protects an organism from invading foreign DNA by methylation of self DNA at specific sequences and nucleolytic cleavage of unmethylated foreign DNA.
NEW: A defense process found in many bacteria and archaea that protects the organism from invading foreign DNA by cleaving it with a restriction endonuclease. The organism's own DNA is protected by methylation of a specific nucleotide, which occurs immediately following replication, in the same target site as the restriction enzyme.
GO:0044005 : induction by symbiont in host of tumor, nodule, or growth
OLD: The process in which an organism causes the formation of an abnormal mass of cells in its host organism. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
NEW: The process in which an organism causes the formation of a mass of cells in its host organism. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
GO:0044006 : induction by symbiont in host of tumor, nodule, or growth containing transformed cells
OLD: The process in which an organism causes the formation in its host organism of an abnormal growth whose cells have been transformed and continue to exist in the absence of the first organism. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
NEW: The process in which an organism causes the formation in its host organism of a growth whose cells have been transformed and continue to exist in the absence of the first organism. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
GO:0051767 : nitric-oxide synthase biosynthetic process
OLD: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of nitric-oxide synthase, an enzyme which catalyzes the reaction L-arginine + n NADPH + n H+ + m O2 = citrulline + nitric oxide + n NADP+.
NEW: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a nitric-oxide synthase, an enzyme which catalyzes the reaction L-arginine + n NADPH + n H+ + m O2 = citrulline + nitric oxide + n NADP+.
GO:0051769 : regulation of nitric-oxide synthase biosynthetic process
OLD: Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of the enzyme nitric-oxide synthase.
NEW: Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a nitric-oxide synthase enzyme.
GO:0051770 : positive regulation of nitric-oxide synthase biosynthetic process
OLD: Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase.
NEW: Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a nitric oxide synthase enzyme.
GO:0051771 : negative regulation of nitric-oxide synthase biosynthetic process
OLD: Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of the enzyme nitric-oxide synthase.
NEW: Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a nitric-oxide synthase enzyme.
GO:0051819 : induction of tumor, nodule, or growth in other organism involved in symbiotic interaction
OLD: The process in which an organism causes the formation of an abnormal mass of cells in a second organism, where the two organisms are in a symbiotic interaction.
NEW: The process in which an organism causes the formation of a mass of cells in a second organism, where the two organisms are in a symbiotic interaction.
GO:0051820 : induction of tumor, nodule, or growth containing transformed cells in other organism involved in symbiotic interaction
OLD: The process in which an organism causes the formation in a second organism of an abnormal growth whose cells have been transformed and continue to exist in the absence of the first organism, where the two organisms are in a symbiotic interaction.
NEW: The process in which an organism causes the formation in a second organism of a growth whose cells have been transformed and continue to exist in the absence of the first organism, where the two organisms are in a symbiotic interaction.
GO:0060080 : regulation of inhibitory postsynaptic membrane potential
OLD: Any process that modulates the establishment or extent of the inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) which is a temporay decrease in postsynaptic potential due to the flow of negatively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell. The flow of ions that causes an IPSP is an inhibitory postsynaptic current (IPSC) and makes it more difficult for the neuron to fire an action potential.
