FunFam 987: DEAD/DEAH box RNA helicase

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 6 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

There are 11 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.
2 Q38AL9 (/IDA) Q38AL9 (/IDA)
Nucleoplasm GO:0005654
That part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus.
2 Q38AL9 (/IDA) Q38AL9 (/IDA)
Cytoplasm GO:0005737

2 P35207 (/IDA) P35207 (/IDA)
Ski complex GO:0055087
A protein complex that regulates RNA degradation by the exosome complex. In Saccharomyces the complex has a heterotetrameric stoichiometry consisting of one copy each of Ski2p and Ski3 and two copies of Ski8p.

1 O13799 (/HDA)
Nucleolus GO:0005730
A small, dense body one or more of which are present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is rich in RNA and protein, is not bounded by a limiting membrane, and is not seen during mitosis. Its prime function is the transcription of the nucleolar DNA into 45S ribosomal-precursor RNA, the processing of this RNA into 5.8S, 18S, and 28S components of ribosomal RNA, and the association of these components with 5S RNA and proteins synthesized outside the nucleolus. This association results in the formation of ribonucleoprotein precursors; these pass into the cytoplasm and mature into the 40S and 60S subunits of the ribosome.
1 O13799 (/ISO)
Nuclear body GO:0016604
Extra-nucleolar nuclear domains usually visualized by confocal microscopy and fluorescent antibodies to specific proteins.
1 O13799 (/IDA)
Heterochromatin island GO:1990342
A region of heterochromatin that is formed dynamically in response to environmental signals by a process that does not require RNAi, and is enriched in histone H3 methylated on lysine 9 (H3K9me).
1 O13799 (/IDA)
MTREC complex GO:1990345
A protein complex that consists of a heterodimer formed by Red1 and Mtl1 or homologs thereof, and that promotes degradation of mRNAs and noncoding RNAs and associates with different proteins to assemble heterochromatin via distinct mechanisms.
1 O13799 (/IDA)
NURS complex GO:1990477
The nuclear RNA silencing (NURS) complex is a protein complex formed by Red1, Mtl1, Red5, Rmn1, Iss10/Pir1, and Ars2/Pir2 that regulates RNA degradation and histone H3 lysine 9 methylation. It is likely related to the human CBCN complex.
