The formation of a syncytium, a mass of cytoplasm containing several nuclei enclosed within a single plasma membrane. Syncytia are normally derived from single cells that fuse or fail to complete cell division.

The protein coat that surrounds the infective nucleic acid in some virus particles. It comprises numerous regularly arranged subunits, or capsomeres.

substrate-bound cell migration, cell extension

The formation of a cell surface protrusion, such as a lamellipodium or filopodium, at the leading edge of a migrating cell.

Catalysis of the reaction: acetylcholine + H2O = choline + acetate.

substrate-bound cell migration, cell attachment to substrate

The formation of adhesions that stabilize protrusions at the leading edge of a migrating cell; involves integrin activation, clustering, and the recruitment of structural and signaling components to nascent adhesions.

Catalysis of the reaction: an orthophosphoric monoester + H2O = an alcohol + phosphate.

Catalysis of the reaction: citrate = cis-aconitate + H2O = isocitrate, i.e. the interconversion of citrate and isocitrate via the labile, enzyme-bound intermediate cis-aconitate. Water is removed from one part of the citrate molecule and added back to a different atom to form isocitrate.

The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis).

Catalysis of the reaction: acyl-CoA + acceptor = 2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + reduced acceptor.

A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of muscle contraction.

Catalysis of the reaction: acyl-CoA + O2 = trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + H2O2.

Catalysis of the reaction: an acyl phosphate + H2O = a carboxylate + phosphate.
