FunFam 1222: Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase

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 3 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
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 Q8MT36 (/IPI)
Chromatin DNA binding GO:0031490
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with DNA that is assembled into chromatin.
1 Q8MT36 (/IDA)
Histone methyltransferase activity GO:0042054
Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + methyl-histone. Histone methylation generally occurs on either an arginine or lysine residue.
1 Q8MT36 (/ISS)

There are 3 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
Histone H3-K36 methylation GO:0010452
The modification of histone H3 by addition of one or more methyl groups to lysine at position 36 of the histone.
1 Q8MT36 (/ISS)
Gene silencing GO:0016458
Any process carried out at the cellular level that results in either long-term transcriptional repression via action on chromatin structure or RNA mediated, post-transcriptional repression of gene expression.
1 Q8MT36 (/ISS)
Germ-line sex determination GO:0018992
The determination of sex and sexual phenotype in an organism's germ line.
1 Q8MT36 (/ISS)

There are 3 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
Nuclear chromosome GO:0000228
A chromosome that encodes the nuclear genome and is found in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell during the cell cycle phases when the nucleus is intact.
1 Q8MT36 (/ISS)
Polytene chromosome GO:0005700
A type of chromosome in a polyploid cell, formed when multiple copies of homologous chromosomes are aligned side by side to give a giant chromosome in which distinct chromosome bands are readily visible.
1 Q8MT36 (/IDA)
Pericentric heterochromatin GO:0005721
Heterochromatin that is located adjacent to the CENP-A rich centromere 'central core' and characterized by the modified histone H3K9me3.
