FunFam 5: Early boundary activity protein 1

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 5 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Sequence-specific DNA binding GO:0043565
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with DNA of a specific nucleotide composition, e.g. GC-rich DNA binding, or with a specific sequence motif or type of DNA e.g. promotor binding or rDNA binding.
3 Q8SYK5 (/IDA) Q9VQD6 (/IDA) Q9VR17 (/IDA)
Chromatin insulator sequence binding GO:0043035
Interacting selectively and non-covalently and stoichiometrically with a chromatin insulator sequence, a DNA sequence that prevents enhancer-mediated activation or repression of transcription.
2 Q8SYK5 (/IDA) Q9VR17 (/IDA)
Chromatin binding GO:0003682
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with chromatin, the network of fibers of DNA, protein, and sometimes RNA, that make up the chromosomes of the eukaryotic nucleus during interphase.
1 Q9VQD6 (/IDA)
Transcription corepressor activity GO:0003714
A protein or a member of a complex that interacts specifically and non-covalently with a DNA-bound DNA-binding transcription factor to repress the transcription of specific genes. Corepressors often act by altering chromatin structure and modifications. For example, one class of transcription coregulators modifies chromatin structure through covalent modification of histones. A second ATP-dependent class modifies the conformation of chromatin. A third class occludes DNA-binding transcription factor protein-protein interaction domains. A fourth class of corepressors prevents interactions of DNA bound DNA-binding transcription factor with coactivators.
1 Q8SYK5 (/IPI)
Protein binding GO:0005515
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
1 Q8SYK5 (/IPI)

There are 7 GO terms relating to "biological process"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated GO:0045892
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription.
2 Q8SYK5 (/IDA) Q9VQD6 (/IDA)
Embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm GO:0001700
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the embryo over time, from zygote formation through syncytial blastoderm to the hatching of the first instar larva. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
1 Q9VR17 (/IEP)
Chromatin organization GO:0006325
Any process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of the physical structure of eukaryotic chromatin.
1 Q9VQD6 (/IMP)
Chromatin silencing GO:0006342
Repression of transcription by altering the structure of chromatin, e.g. by conversion of large regions of DNA into an inaccessible state often called heterochromatin.
1 Q9VQD6 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of chromatin silencing GO:0031937
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of chromatin silencing.
1 Q9VR17 (/IMP)
Negative regulation of Notch signaling pathway GO:0045746
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the Notch signaling pathway.
1 Q8SYK5 (/IGI)
Negative regulation of Notch signaling pathway GO:0045746
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the Notch signaling pathway.
1 Q8SYK5 (/IMP)

There are 3 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Nucleus GO:0005634
A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
3 Q8SYK5 (/IDA) Q9VQD6 (/IDA) Q9VR17 (/IDA)
Chromatin silencing complex GO:0005677
Any protein complex that mediates changes in chromatin structure that result in transcriptional silencing.
2 Q9VQD6 (/IDA) Q9VR17 (/IDA)
Polytene chromosome band GO:0005704
A stretch of densely packed chromatin along the polytene chromosome, visible as a morphologically distinct band.
