|---|---|---|---|
| GO:0034332 | adherens junction organization | A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an adherens junction. An adherens junction is a cell junction at which the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane is attached to actin filaments. | 29 |
| GO:0019991 | septate junction assembly | The assembly of a septate junction, an intercellular junction found in invertebrate epithelia that is characterized by a ladder like appearance in electron micrographs and thought to provide structural strength and to provide a barrier to diffusion of solutes through the intercellular space. | 20 |
| GO:0070830 | tight junction assembly | The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a tight junction, an occluding cell-cell junction that is composed of a branching network of sealing strands that completely encircles the apical end of each cell in an epithelial sheet. | 15 |
| GO:0034334 | adherens junction maintenance | The maintenance of an adherens junction. An adherens junction is a cell junction at which the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane is attached to actin filaments. | 15 |
| GO:0045216 | cell-cell junction organization | A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a cell-cell junction. A cell-cell junction is a specialized region of connection between two cells. | 11 |
| GO:0034329 | cell junction assembly | A cellular process that results in the aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a cell junction. | 9 |
| GO:0043297 | apical junction assembly | The formation of an apical junction, a functional unit located near the cell apex at the points of contact between epithelial cells composed of the tight junction, the zonula adherens junction and the desmosomes, by the aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of its constituents. | 8 |
| GO:0048041 | focal adhesion assembly | The aggregation and bonding together of a set of components to form a focal adhesion, a complex of intracellular signaling and structural proteins that provides a structural link between the internal actin cytoskeleton and the ECM, and also function as a locus of signal transduction activity. | 6 |
| GO:0002159 | desmosome assembly | A cellular process that results in the aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a desmosome. A desmosome is a patch-like intercellular junction found in vertebrate tissues, consisting of parallel zones of two cell membranes, separated by an space of 25-35 nm, and having dense fibrillar plaques in the subjacent cytoplasm. | 6 |
| GO:0034333 | adherens junction assembly | The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form an adherens junction. An adherens junction is a cell junction at which the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane is attached to actin filaments. | 6 |
| GO:0016264 | gap junction assembly | Assembly of gap junctions, which are found in most animal tissues, and serve as direct connections between the cytoplasms of adjacent cells. They provide open channels through the plasma membrane, allowing ions and small molecules (less than approximately a thousand daltons) to diffuse freely between neighboring cells, but preventing the passage of proteins and nucleic acids. | 5 |
| GO:0045217 | cell-cell junction maintenance | The maintenance of junctions between cells. | 3 |
| GO:0045186 | zonula adherens assembly | Assembly of the zonula adherens, a cell-cell adherens junction which forms a continuous belt near the apex of epithelial cells. | 3 |
| GO:0031581 | hemidesmosome assembly | Assembly of hemidesmosomes, integrin-containing protein complexes that bind to laminin in the basal lamina. Hemidesmosomes form the contact between the basal surface of epithelial cells and the underlying basal lamina. | 3 |
| GO:0007043 | cell-cell junction assembly | The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a junction between cells. | 2 |
| GO:0030913 | paranodal junction assembly | Formation of the junction between an axon and the glial cell that forms the myelin sheath. Paranodal junctions form at each paranode, i.e. at the ends of the unmyelinated nodes of Ranvier. | 1 |
