FunFam 2: Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase, H3 lysine-79 s...

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
Histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K79 specific) GO:0031151
Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone H3 L-lysine (position 79) = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + histone H3 N6-methyl-L-lysine (position 79). This reaction is the addition of a methyl group onto lysine at position 79 of the histone H3 protein.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
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 Q8INR6 (/IGI)
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 Q8INR6 (/IMP)
Chromatin silencing at telomere GO:0006348
Repression of transcription of telomeric DNA by altering the structure of chromatin.
1 Q8INR6 (/IMP)
Histone methylation GO:0016571
The modification of histones by addition of methyl groups.
1 Q8INR6 (/IMP)
Histone H3-K79 methylation GO:0034729
The modification of histone H3 by addition of a methyl group to lysine at position 79 of the histone.
1 Q8INR6 (/IMP)
Chromatin-mediated maintenance of transcription GO:0048096
Maintenance of transcription by remodelling of chromatin into an 'open configuration'. Once established, this regulation is mitotically stable and is maintained over many cell divisions. It is also heritable.
1 Q8INR6 (/IGI)
Chromatin-mediated maintenance of transcription GO:0048096
Maintenance of transcription by remodelling of chromatin into an 'open configuration'. Once established, this regulation is mitotically stable and is maintained over many cell divisions. It is also heritable.
1 Q8INR6 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of gene silencing by miRNA GO:2000637
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of gene silencing by miRNA.
1 Q8INR6 (/IMP)

There are 2 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

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
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 Q8INR6 (/IMP)
Histone methyltransferase complex GO:0035097
A multimeric complex that is able to catalyze the addition of methyl groups to histone proteins.
1 Q8INR6 (/IC)
