The formation of a tube from the flat layer of ectodermal cells known as the neural plate. This will give rise to the central nervous system.

Catalysis of the reaction: GTP + 5'-dephospho-RNA = GDP + 5'-phospho-RNA.

The process by which the edges of the neural plate thicken and move up to form a U-shaped structure called the neural groove.

Catalysis of the reaction: NTP + 5'-dephosphopolynucleotide = NDP + 5'-phosphopolynucleotide. The polynucleotide may be DNA or RNA.

The last step in the formation of the neural tube, where the paired neural folds are brought together at the dorsal midline.

Catalysis of the reaction: NTP + 5'-dephospho-RNA = NDP + 5'-phospho-RNA.

protein insertion into mitochondrial membrane during induction of apoptosis

protein insertion into mitochondrion membrane during induction of apoptosis

The process by which a protein is incorporated into a mitochondrial membrane as an early step in apoptosis.

Catalysis of the reaction: NTP + 5'-dephospho-DNA = NDP + 5'-phospho-DNA.

Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + 5'-dephosphopolynucleotide = ADP + 5'-phosphopolynucleotide. The polynucleotide may be DNA or RNA.

A multisubunit protein complex that binds to centromeric DNA and initiates kinetochore assembly. In yeast, this complex consists of four subunits, namely Ctf13p, Skp1p, Cep3p and Cbf2p.

Interacting selectively with an opsonin, such as a complement component or antibody, deposited on the surface of a bacteria, virus, immune complex, or other particulate material.

Catalysis of the reaction: GTP + 5'-dephosphopolynucleotide = GDP + 5'-phosphopolynucleotide. The polynucleotide may be DNA or RNA.

A chromatin-associated multiprotein complex containing Polycomb Group proteins. In Drosophila, Polycomb group proteins are involved in the long-term maintenance of gene repression, and PcG protein complexes associate with Polycomb group response elements (PREs) in target genes to regulate higher-order chromatin structure.

Combining with an opsonin to initiate a change in cell activity.
