FunFam 509: zinc finger protein with KRAB and SCAN domains 5

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
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.
4 Q8NF99 (/ISA) Q9Y2L8 (/ISA) Q9Y2L8 (/ISA) Q9Y2L8 (/ISA)
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).
4 Q8NF99 (/IPI) Q9Y2L8 (/IPI) Q9Y2L8 (/IPI) Q9Y2L8 (/IPI)
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.

Zinc ion binding GO:0008270
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with zinc (Zn) ions.
3 Q9Y2L8 (/NAS) Q9Y2L8 (/NAS) Q9Y2L8 (/NAS)
Protein homodimerization activity GO:0042803
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein to form a homodimer.
1 Q7TNK4 (/ISO)
Protein heterodimerization activity GO:0046982
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a nonidentical protein to form a heterodimer.

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
Regulation of transcription, DNA-templated GO:0006355
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription.
3 Q9Y2L8 (/NAS) Q9Y2L8 (/NAS) Q9Y2L8 (/NAS)
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.

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.

1 Q7TNK4 (/ISO)
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.
