FunFam 3: DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1

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.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
DNA methylation GO:0006306
The covalent transfer of a methyl group to either N-6 of adenine or C-5 or N-4 of cytosine.
1 Q94F88 (/IMP)
Chromatin silencing GO:0006342
Repression of transcription by altering the structure of chromatin, e.g. by conversion of large regions of DNA into an inaccessible state often called heterochromatin.
1 Q94F88 (/IGI)
DNA mediated transformation GO:0009294
The introduction and uptake of foreign genetic material (DNA or RNA) into a cell, and often the expression of that genetic material.
1 O49139 (/IMP)
Zygote asymmetric cytokinesis in embryo sac GO:0010069
The division of the zygote in a plane perpendicular to the long axis of the embryo sac to produce a larger basal cell near the micropyle and a small terminal cell close to what was the central cell and is now the developing endosperm. An example of this process is found in Arabidopsis thaliana.
1 Q94F88 (/IMP)
Maintenance of DNA methylation GO:0010216
Any process involved in maintaining the methylation state of a nucleotide sequence.
1 C0SQ89 (/IMP)
DNA methylation on cytosine within a CNG sequence GO:0010425
The covalent transfer of a methyl group, to C-5 or N-4, of a cytosine located within a CNG sequence in a DNA molecule. N stands for any nucleotide.
1 Q94F88 (/IMP)
DNA methylation on cytosine within a CHH sequence GO:0010426
The covalent transfer of a methyl group, to C-5 or N-4, of a cytosine located within an asymmetric CHH sequence in a DNA molecule. H stands for an adenine, cytosine, or thymine nucleotide.
1 Q94F87 (/IMP)
DNA methylation on cytosine GO:0032776
The covalent transfer of a methyl group to C-5 or N-4 of cytosine in a DNA molecule.
1 C0SQ89 (/IMP)
Cellular response to heat GO:0034605
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a heat stimulus, a temperature stimulus above the optimal temperature for that organism.
1 Q94F87 (/IMP)
Negative regulation of gene expression, epigenetic GO:0045814
Any epigenetic process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate of gene expression.
1 Q94F88 (/IGI)
Histone H3-K9 methylation GO:0051567
The modification of histone H3 by addition of one or more methyl groups to lysine at position 9 of the histone.
1 Q94F88 (/IGI)
