Network disruptions

We have been experiencing disruptions on our local network which has affected the stability of these web pages. We have been working with IT support team to get this fixed as a matter of urgency and apologise for any inconvenience.

The name of this superfamily has been modified since the most recent official CATH+ release (v4_4_0). At the point of the last release, this superfamily was named:

"
Classic Zinc Finger

FunFam 1482: Hunchback

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 4 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
RNA polymerase II distal enhancer sequence-specific DNA binding GO:0000980
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a RNA polymerase II (Pol II) distal enhancer. In mammalian cells, enhancers are distal sequences that increase the utilization of some promoters, and can function in either orientation and in any location (upstream or downstream) relative to the core promoter.
1 P05084 (/IDA)
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.
1 P05084 (/IDA)
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.
1 P05084 (/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.
1 P05084 (/IDA)

There are 19 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
Negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II GO:0000122
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of transcription mediated by RNA polymerase II.
1 P05084 (/IDA)
Negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II GO:0000122
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of transcription mediated by RNA polymerase II.
1 P05084 (/IEP)
Negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II GO:0000122
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of transcription mediated by RNA polymerase II.
1 P05084 (/IMP)
Zygotic determination of anterior/posterior axis, embryo GO:0007354
The specification of the anterior/posterior axis of the embryo by products of genes expressed in the zygote; exemplified in insects by the gap genes, pair rule genes and segment polarity gene cascade.
1 P05084 (/NAS)
Zygotic determination of anterior/posterior axis, embryo GO:0007354
The specification of the anterior/posterior axis of the embryo by products of genes expressed in the zygote; exemplified in insects by the gap genes, pair rule genes and segment polarity gene cascade.
1 P05084 (/TAS)
Neuroblast fate determination GO:0007400
The cell fate determination process in which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a neuroblast cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus.
1 P05084 (/IEP)
Neuroblast fate determination GO:0007400
The cell fate determination process in which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a neuroblast cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus.
1 P05084 (/IMP)
Ganglion mother cell fate determination GO:0007402
The cell fate determination process in which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a ganglion mother cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed.
1 P05084 (/TAS)
Ventral cord development GO:0007419
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the ventral cord over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The ventral cord is one of the distinguishing traits of the central nervous system of all arthropods (such as insects, crustaceans and arachnids) as well as many other invertebrates, such as the annelid worms.
1 P05084 (/NAS)
Salivary gland development GO:0007431
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the salivary gland over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Salivary glands include any of the saliva-secreting exocrine glands of the oral cavity.
1 P05084 (/TAS)
Posterior head segmentation GO:0035289
Partitioning the posterior region of the insect head anlage into gnathal (mandibular, maxillary and labial) segments. Unlike the anterior head (procephalic) segments, formation of the posterior head (gnathal) segments occurs by a similar mechanism to trunk segmentation, where a cascade of gap genes, pair-rule genes and segment-polarity genes subdivide the embryo into progressively smaller domains.
1 P05084 (/TAS)
Trunk segmentation GO:0035290
Partitioning of the blastoderm embryo into trunk segmental units. In Drosophila, the trunk segments include thoracic segments and abdominal segments A1 to A8.
1 P05084 (/TAS)
Regulation of development, heterochronic GO:0040034
Any process that modulates the consistent predetermined time point at which an integrated living unit or organism progresses from an initial condition to a later condition and the rate at which this time point is reached.
1 P05084 (/TAS)
Regulation of transcription involved in anterior/posterior axis specification GO:0044324
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of transcription that contributes to the specification of the anterior/posterior axis.
1 P05084 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II GO:0045944
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter.

Positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II GO:0045944
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter.

Regulation of neurogenesis GO:0050767
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of neurogenesis, the generation of cells in the nervous system.

Regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation GO:2000177
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of neural precursor cell proliferation.

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.
