FunFam 79: Nucleic acid binding 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 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
Nucleic acid binding GO:0003676
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any nucleic acid.
2 Q38B00 (/ISM) Q38B00 (/ISM)
MRNA binding GO:0003729
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with messenger RNA (mRNA), an intermediate molecule between DNA and protein. mRNA includes UTR and coding sequences, but does not contain introns.
2 Q38B00 (/IDA) Q38B00 (/IDA)
Single-stranded telomeric DNA binding GO:0043047
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with single-stranded telomere-associated DNA.
2 Q38B00 (/IMP) Q38B00 (/IMP)

There are 5 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
Mitotic cell cycle GO:0000278
Progression through the phases of the mitotic cell cycle, the most common eukaryotic cell cycle, which canonically comprises four successive phases called G1, S, G2, and M and includes replication of the genome and the subsequent segregation of chromosomes into daughter cells. In some variant cell cycles nuclear replication or nuclear division may not be followed by cell division, or G1 and G2 phases may be absent.
2 Q38B00 (/IMP) Q38B00 (/IMP)
Nuclear division GO:0000280
The division of a cell nucleus into two nuclei, with DNA and other nuclear contents distributed between the daughter nuclei.
2 Q38B00 (/IMP) Q38B00 (/IMP)
Telomere maintenance GO:0000723
Any process that contributes to the maintenance of proper telomeric length and structure by affecting and monitoring the activity of telomeric proteins, the length of telomeric DNA and the replication and repair of the DNA. These processes includes those that shorten, lengthen, replicate and repair the telomeric DNA sequences.
2 Q38B00 (/IMP) Q38B00 (/IMP)
Negative regulation of histone phosphorylation GO:0033128
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the addition of one or more phosphate groups to a histone protein.
2 Q38B00 (/IMP) Q38B00 (/IMP)
Mitochondrial DNA inheritance GO:0033955
The process in which copies of the mitochondrial genome are distributed into daughter mitochondria upon mitochondrial fission.
2 Q38B00 (/IMP) Q38B00 (/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.
2 Q38B00 (/IDA) Q38B00 (/IDA)
Nucleoplasm GO:0005654
That part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus.
