FunFam 690: Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase eggless

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 5 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 Q32KD2 (/IPI)
Double-stranded methylated DNA binding GO:0010385
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with double-stranded methylated DNA. Methylation of cytosine or adenine in DNA is an important mechanism for establishing stable heritable epigenetic marks.
1 Q32KD2 (/IDA)
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase activity GO:0018024
Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone L-lysine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + histone N6-methyl-L-lysine. The methylation of peptidyl-lysine in histones forms N6-methyl-L-lysine, N6,N6-dimethyl-L-lysine and N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine derivatives.
1 Q32KD2 (/IMP)
Histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K9 specific) GO:0046974
Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone H3 L-lysine (position 9) = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + histone H3 N6-methyl-L-lysine (position 9). This reaction is the addition of a methyl group onto lysine at position 9 of the histone H3 protein.
1 Q32KD2 (/IDA)
Histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K9 specific) GO:0046974
Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone H3 L-lysine (position 9) = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + histone H3 N6-methyl-L-lysine (position 9). This reaction is the addition of a methyl group onto lysine at position 9 of the histone H3 protein.

There are 14 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
Instar larval or pupal development GO:0002165
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the instar larva or pupa over time, from its formation to the mature structure. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
1 Q32KD2 (/IMP)
Wing disc development GO:0035220
Progression of the wing disc over time, from its initial formation through to its metamorphosis to form adult structures including the wing hinge, wing blade and pleura.
1 Q32KD2 (/IMP)
Regulation of gene expression, epigenetic GO:0040029
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of gene expression; the process is mitotically or meiotically heritable, or is stably self-propagated in the cytoplasm of a resting cell, and does not entail a change in DNA sequence.
1 Q32KD2 (/IMP)
DNA hypermethylation GO:0044026
An increase in the epigenetic methylation of cytosine and adenosine residues in DNA.
1 Q32KD2 (/IMP)
Negative regulation of gene expression, epigenetic GO:0045814
Any epigenetic process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate of gene expression.
1 Q32KD2 (/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.
1 Q32KD2 (/IMP)
Female germ-line stem cell asymmetric division GO:0048132
The self-renewing division of a germline stem cell in the female gonad, to produce a daughter stem cell and a daughter germ cell, which will divide to form the female gametes.
1 Q32KD2 (/IDA)
Oogenesis GO:0048477
The complete process of formation and maturation of an ovum or female gamete from a primordial female germ cell. Examples of this process are found in Mus musculus and Drosophila melanogaster.
1 Q32KD2 (/IDA)
Oogenesis GO:0048477
The complete process of formation and maturation of an ovum or female gamete from a primordial female germ cell. Examples of this process are found in Mus musculus and Drosophila melanogaster.
1 Q32KD2 (/IMP)
Negative regulation of transcription involved in meiotic cell cycle GO:0051038
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of transcription involved in the meiotic cell cycle.
1 Q32KD2 (/IMP)
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 Q32KD2 (/IDA)
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 Q32KD2 (/IMP)
Regulation of gene silencing GO:0060968
Any process that modulates the rate, frequency, or extent of gene silencing, the transcriptional or post-transcriptional process carried out at the cellular level that results in long-term gene inactivation.
1 Q32KD2 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of methylation-dependent chromatin silencing GO:0090309
Any process that increases the rate, frequency, or extent of the repression of transcription by methylation of DNA, leading to the formation of heterochromatin.

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 Q32KD2 (/IDA)
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 Q32KD2 (/IDA)
Cytoplasm GO:0005737
All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
