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:

"
Helix-loop-helix DNA-binding domain

FunFam 68: factor in the germline alpha

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.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding GO:0000978
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a specific upstream regulatory DNA sequence (transcription factor recognition sequence or binding site) located in the proximal promoter of a gene transcribed by RNA polymerase II. The proximal promoter is in cis with and relatively close to the core promoter.
2 O55208 (/IDA) O55208 (/IDA)
DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific GO:0001228
A protein or a member of a complex that interacts selectively and non-covalently with a specific DNA sequence (sometimes referred to as a motif) within the regulatory region of a RNA polymerase II-transcribed gene to activate or increase transcription. Regulatory regions include promoters (proximal and distal) and enhancers. Genes are transcriptional units.
2 O55208 (/IDA) O55208 (/IDA)
Transcription factor binding GO:0008134
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a transcription factor, a protein required to initiate or regulate transcription.
2 O55208 (/ISO) O55208 (/ISO)
Transcription factor binding GO:0008134
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a transcription factor, a protein required to initiate or regulate transcription.
2 O55208 (/ISS) O55208 (/ISS)
DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific GO:0000981
A protein or a member of a complex that interacts selectively and non-covalently with a specific DNA sequence (sometimes referred to as a motif) within the regulatory region of a RNA polymerase II-transcribed gene to modulate transcription. Regulatory regions include promoters (proximal and distal) and enhancers. Genes are transcriptional units.
1 Q6QHK4 (/ISA)
DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific GO:0000981
A protein or a member of a complex that interacts selectively and non-covalently with a specific DNA sequence (sometimes referred to as a motif) within the regulatory region of a RNA polymerase II-transcribed gene to modulate transcription. Regulatory regions include promoters (proximal and distal) and enhancers. Genes are transcriptional units.
1 Q6QHK4 (/ISM)
DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific GO:0000981
A protein or a member of a complex that interacts selectively and non-covalently with a specific DNA sequence (sometimes referred to as a motif) within the regulatory region of a RNA polymerase II-transcribed gene to modulate transcription. Regulatory regions include promoters (proximal and distal) and enhancers. Genes are transcriptional units.
1 Q6QHK4 (/NAS)
Transcription factor binding GO:0008134
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a transcription factor, a protein required to initiate or regulate transcription.

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the female gonad over time, from its formation to the mature structure.
2 Q568W8 (/IEP) Q6W9E1 (/IEP)
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.
2 O55208 (/IDA) O55208 (/IDA)
Oocyte development GO:0048599
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an oocyte over time, from initial commitment of the cell to its specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell.
