FunFam 9114: Piwi-like protein

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 1 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
21U-RNA binding GO:0034583
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a 21U-RNA, a 21-nucleotide RNA characterized by a uridine 5'-monophosphate and a modified 3' end resistant to periodate degradation. 21U-RNAs are derived from distinct, autonomously expressed loci within the genome.
1 P90786 (/IPI)

There are 6 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
Reproduction GO:0000003
The production of new individuals that contain some portion of genetic material inherited from one or more parent organisms.
1 P90786 (/IMP)
Gamete generation GO:0007276
The generation and maintenance of gametes in a multicellular organism. A gamete is a haploid reproductive cell.
1 P90786 (/IMP)
Spermatogenesis GO:0007283
The process of formation of spermatozoa, including spermatocytogenesis and spermiogenesis.
1 P90786 (/IMP)
21U-RNA metabolic process GO:0034585
The chemical reactions and pathways involving 21U-RNAs, a class of single-stranded RNA molecules of about 21 nucleotides in length characterized by a uridine 5'-monophosphate and a modified 3' end resistant to periodate degradation. 21U-RNAs are derived from distinct, autonomously expressed loci within the genome.
1 P90786 (/IMP)
Germ-line stem cell division GO:0042078
The self-renewing division of a germline stem cell to produce a daughter stem cell and a daughter germ cell, which will divide to form the gametes.
1 P90786 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of mitotic nuclear division GO:0045840
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of mitosis.
1 P90786 (/IMP)

There are 1 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

GO Term Annotations Evidence
P granule GO:0043186
A small cytoplasmic, non-membranous RNA/protein complex aggregates in the primordial germ cells of many higher eukaryotes.
