The name of this superfamily has been modified since the most recent official CATH+ release (v4_3_0). At the point of the last release, this superfamily was named:

"
Nucleic acid-binding proteins

FunFam 1094:

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 2 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
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 Q0E7J7 (/IPI)
Single-stranded telomeric DNA binding GO:0043047
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with single-stranded telomere-associated DNA.
1 Q0E7J7 (/ISO)

There are 2 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
Telomere capping GO:0016233
A process in which telomeres are protected from degradation and fusion, thereby ensuring chromosome stability by protecting the ends from both degradation and from being recognized as damaged DNA. May be mediated by specific single- or double-stranded telomeric DNA binding proteins.
1 Q0E7J7 (/IMP)
Negative regulation of telomere maintenance via telomerase GO:0032211
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the addition of telomeric repeats by telomerase.
1 Q0E7J7 (/IMP)

There are 5 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
Telomere cap complex GO:0000782
A complex of DNA and protein located at the end of a linear chromosome that protects and stabilizes a linear chromosome.
1 Q0E7J7 (/IDA)
Nuclear chromosome, telomeric region GO:0000784
The terminal region of a linear nuclear chromosome that includes the telomeric DNA repeats and associated proteins.
1 Q0E7J7 (/IDA)
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.
1 Q0E7J7 (/HDA)
Nuclear telomeric heterochromatin GO:0005724
Heterochromatic regions of the chromosome found at the telomeres of a chromosome in the nucleus.
1 Q0E7J7 (/IDA)
CST complex GO:1990879
A complex formed by the association of Cdc13 (CTC1 in mammals) with Stn1 in yeast (OBFC1 in mammals) and Ten1 protein (also TEN1 in mammals) with single-stranded telomeric DNA. The CST complex plays a role in telomere protection.
