FunFam 373: Putative transcriptional repressor ctcf

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"

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
Chromatin binding GO:0003682
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with chromatin, the network of fibers of DNA, protein, and sometimes RNA, that make up the chromosomes of the eukaryotic nucleus during interphase.
3 A0A2R8QUZ1 (/IDA) Q5XJR2 (/IDA) Q6JAA4 (/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).
3 Q08705 (/IPI) Q8TA44 (/IPI) Q9VS55 (/IPI)
Transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding GO:0000976
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a specific sequence of DNA that is part of a regulatory region that controls transcription of that section of the DNA. The transcribed region might be described as a gene, cistron, or operon.
2 Q8TA44 (/IDA) Q9VS55 (/IDA)
Chromatin insulator sequence binding GO:0043035
Interacting selectively and non-covalently and stoichiometrically with a chromatin insulator sequence, a DNA sequence that prevents enhancer-mediated activation or repression of transcription.
2 Q8TA44 (/IDA) Q9VS55 (/IDA)
Sequence-specific DNA binding GO:0043565
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with DNA of a specific nucleotide composition, e.g. GC-rich DNA binding, or with a specific sequence motif or type of DNA e.g. promotor binding or rDNA binding.
2 Q8TA44 (/IDA) Q9VS55 (/IDA)
DNA binding GO:0003677
Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
1 Q9VS55 (/IDA)

There are 7 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
Regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II GO:0006357
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of transcription mediated by RNA polymerase II.
3 A0A2R8QUZ1 (/IMP) Q5XJR2 (/IMP) Q6JAA4 (/IMP)
Regulation of gene expression GO:0010468
Any process that modulates 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.
3 A0A2R8QUZ1 (/IDA) Q5XJR2 (/IDA) Q6JAA4 (/IDA)
Regulation of gene expression by genetic imprinting GO:0006349
Heritable alterations in the activity of a gene that depend on whether it passed through the paternal or the maternal germline, but that are not encoded by DNA itself.
2 Q8TA44 (/IMP) Q9VS55 (/IMP)
Segment specification GO:0007379
The process in which segments assume individual identities; exemplified in insects by the actions of the products of the homeotic genes.
2 Q8TA44 (/IMP) Q9VS55 (/IMP)
Maintenance of rDNA GO:0043007
Any process involved in sustaining the fidelity and copy number of rDNA repeats.
2 Q8TA44 (/IDA) Q9VS55 (/IDA)
Negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated GO:0045892
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription.
2 Q8TA44 (/IDA) Q9VS55 (/IDA)
Response to ecdysone GO:0035075
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a ecdysone stimulus.
1 Q9VS55 (/IDA)

There are 1 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.
