FunFam 97: Neuronal PAS domain-containing protein 2

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 10 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
Nuclear receptor activity GO:0004879
Combining with a signal and transmitting the signal to the transcriptional machinery by interacting selectively and non-covalently with a specific DNA sequence in order to modulate transcription by RNA polymerase II.
3 O44118 (/IMP) Q9VXW7 (/IMP) Q9VYW2 (/IMP)
Transcription factor binding GO:0008134
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a transcription factor, a protein required to initiate or regulate transcription.
3 O44118 (/IPI) Q9VXW7 (/IPI) Q9VYW2 (/IPI)
Protein heterodimerization activity GO:0046982
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a nonidentical protein to form a heterodimer.

Nuclear receptor activity GO:0004879
Combining with a signal and transmitting the signal to the transcriptional machinery by interacting selectively and non-covalently with a specific DNA sequence in order to modulate transcription by RNA polymerase II.
2 O44118 (/IDA) Q9VYW2 (/IDA)
Protein homodimerization activity GO:0042803
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein to form a homodimer.
2 O44118 (/IDA) Q9VYW2 (/IDA)
Protein heterodimerization activity GO:0046982
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a nonidentical protein to form a heterodimer.
2 O44118 (/IDA) Q9VYW2 (/IDA)
DNA-binding transcription factor activity GO:0003700
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 gene to modulate transcription. Regulatory regions include promoters (proximal and distal) and enhancers. Genes are transcriptional units, and include bacterial operons.
1 Q9VXW7 (/ISS)
Juvenile hormone binding GO:0005500
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with juvenile hormone, the three sesquiterpenoid derivatives that function to maintain the larval state of insects at molting and that may be required for other processes, e.g. oogenesis.
1 Q9VXW7 (/IDA)
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 Q9VYW2 (/IPI)
Identical protein binding GO:0042802
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein or proteins.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Negative regulation of programmed cell death GO:0043069
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of programmed cell death, cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes.
3 O44118 (/IGI) Q9VXW7 (/IGI) Q9VYW2 (/IGI)
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.
3 O44118 (/IMP) Q9VXW7 (/IMP) Q9VYW2 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II GO:0045944

2 O44118 (/IDA) Q9VYW2 (/IDA)
Regulation of developmental process GO:0050793
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of development, the biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a multicellular organism over time from an initial condition (e.g. a zygote, or a young adult) to a later condition (e.g. a multicellular animal or an aged adult).
2 O44118 (/IMP) Q9VYW2 (/IMP)
Regulation of transcription, DNA-templated GO:0006355
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription.
1 Q9VXW7 (/ISS)
Juvenile hormone mediated signaling pathway GO:0035626
A series of molecular signals initiated by the binding of juvenile hormone to a receptor, and ending with regulation of cell state or activity.
1 Q9VXW7 (/IMP)

There are 2 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

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.
