FunFam 29587: Piwi-like protein 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.

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
Endoribonuclease activity GO:0004521
Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within ribonucleic acid by creating internal breaks.
1 Q8UVX0 (/ISS)
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 Q8UVX0 (/IPI)
PiRNA binding GO:0034584
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a piRNA, a Piwi-associated RNA, a 24- to 30-nucleotide RNA derived from repeat or complex DNA sequence elements and processed by a Dicer-independent mechanism.
1 Q8UVX0 (/IDA)

There are 10 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 translation GO:0006417
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of proteins by the translation of mRNA.
1 Q8UVX0 (/ISS)
Gamete generation GO:0007276
The generation and maintenance of gametes in a multicellular organism. A gamete is a haploid reproductive cell.
1 Q8UVX0 (/IMP)
Germ cell development GO:0007281
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an immature germ cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure (gamete). A germ cell is any reproductive cell in a multicellular organism.
1 Q8UVX0 (/IDA)
Germ cell development GO:0007281
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an immature germ cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure (gamete). A germ cell is any reproductive cell in a multicellular organism.
1 Q8UVX0 (/IMP)
Spermatogenesis GO:0007283
The process of formation of spermatozoa, including spermatocytogenesis and spermiogenesis.
1 Q8UVX0 (/ISS)
Anatomical structure morphogenesis GO:0009653
The process in which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
1 Q8UVX0 (/IDA)
Negative regulation of transposition GO:0010529
Any process that decreases the frequency, rate or extent of transposition. Transposition results in the movement of discrete segments of DNA between nonhomologous sites.
1 Q8UVX0 (/ISS)
Gene silencing by RNA GO:0031047
Any process in which RNA molecules inactivate expression of target genes.
1 Q8UVX0 (/IMP)
PiRNA metabolic process GO:0034587
The chemical reactions and pathways involving piRNAs, Piwi-associated RNAs, a class of 24- to 30-nucleotide RNA derived from repeat or complex DNA sequence elements and processed by a Dicer-independent mechanism.
