FunFam 39: Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase ash1

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 8 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.

There are 19 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
Oviposition GO:0018991
The deposition of eggs (either fertilized or not) upon a surface or into a medium such as water.
2 O44757 (/IMP) Q9VW15 (/IMP)
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 Q9VW15 (/IMP)
Ectodermal cell fate specification GO:0001715
The cell fate determination process that results in a cell becoming becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an ectoderm cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed.
1 O44757 (/IMP)
Nematode larval development GO:0002119
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the nematode larva over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Nematode larval development begins with the newly hatched first-stage larva (L1) and ends with the end of the last larval stage (for example the fourth larval stage (L4) in C. elegans). Each stage of nematode larval development is characterized by proliferation of specific cell lineages and an increase in body size without alteration of the basic body plan. Nematode larval stages are separated by molts in which each stage-specific exoskeleton, or cuticle, is shed and replaced anew.
1 O44757 (/IMP)
Regulation of transcription, DNA-templated GO:0006355
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription.
1 Q9VW15 (/IMP)
Embryo development ending in birth or egg hatching GO:0009792
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an embryo over time, from zygote formation until the end of the embryonic life stage. The end of the embryonic life stage is organism-specific and may be somewhat arbitrary; for mammals it is usually considered to be birth, for insects the hatching of the first instar larva from the eggshell.
1 O44757 (/IMP)
Histone H3-K36 methylation GO:0010452
The modification of histone H3 by addition of one or more methyl groups to lysine at position 36 of the histone.
1 Q9VW15 (/IDA)
Positive regulation of gene expression GO:0010628
Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of gene expression. Gene expression is the process in which a gene's coding sequence is converted into a mature gene product or products (proteins or RNA). This includes the production of an RNA transcript as well as any processing to produce a mature RNA product or an mRNA or circRNA (for protein-coding genes) and the translation of that mRNA or circRNA into protein. Protein maturation is included when required to form an active form of a product from an inactive precursor form.
1 Q9VW15 (/IMP)
Histone methylation GO:0016571
The modification of histones by addition of methyl groups.
1 Q9VW15 (/IDA)
Locomotion GO:0040011
Self-propelled movement of a cell or organism from one location to another.
1 O44757 (/IMP)
Regulation of multicellular organism growth GO:0040014
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of growth of the body of an organism so that it reaches its usual body size.
1 O44757 (/IMP)
Nematode male tail tip morphogenesis GO:0045138
The process in which the anatomical structure of the adult male tail tip is generated and organized. In some species of rhabitid nematodes, the male tail tip undergoes a morphological change such that the most posterior hypodermal cells in the tail (hyp8-11 in C. elegans) fuse and retract anteriorly, changing the shape of the tail from a pointed, tapered cone, or spike, to a rounded, blunt dome.
1 O44757 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II GO:0045944
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter.
1 O44757 (/IMP)
Chromatin-mediated maintenance of transcription GO:0048096
Maintenance of transcription by remodelling of chromatin into an 'open configuration'. Once established, this regulation is mitotically stable and is maintained over many cell divisions. It is also heritable.
1 Q9VW15 (/IMP)
Oogenesis GO:0048477
The complete process of formation and maturation of an ovum or female gamete from a primordial female germ cell. Examples of this process are found in Mus musculus and Drosophila melanogaster.
1 Q9VW15 (/IMP)
Embryonic digestive tract development GO:0048566
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the gut over time, from its formation to the mature structure during embryonic development. The gut is the region of the digestive tract extending from the beginning of the intestines to the anus.
1 O44757 (/IMP)
Histone H3-K4 methylation GO:0051568

1 Q9VW15 (/IMP)
Histone H3-K36 dimethylation GO:0097676
The modification of histone H3 by addition of two methyl groups to lysine at position 36 of the histone.
