molecular function |
| GO:0003677 | | DNA binding | | Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). |
| GO:0035064 | | methylated histone binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a histone in which a residue has been modified by methylation. Histones are any of a group of water-soluble proteins found in association with the DNA of eukaroytic chromosomes. |
| GO:0031493 | | nucleosomal histone binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a histone that is assembled into a nucleosome. |
| GO:0000166 | | nucleotide binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a nucleotide, any compound consisting of a nucleoside that is esterified with (ortho)phosphate or an oligophosphate at any hydroxyl group on the ribose or deoxyribose. |
| GO:0005515 | | protein binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules). |
| GO:0003727 | | single-stranded RNA binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with single-stranded RNA. |
biological process |
| GO:0007049 | | cell cycle | | The progression of biochemical and morphological phases and events that occur in a cell during successive cell replication or nuclear replication events. Canonically, the cell cycle comprises the replication and segregation of genetic material followed by the division of the cell, but in endocycles or syncytial cells nuclear replication or nuclear division may not be followed by cell division. |
| GO:0034613 | | cellular protein localization | | Any process in which a protein is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location at the level of a cell. Localization at the cellular level encompasses movement within the cell, from within the cell to the cell surface, or from one location to another at the surface of a cell. |
| GO:1990141 | | chromatin silencing at centromere outer repeat region | | Repression of transcription of DNA at the outer repeat region of a regional centromere by altering the structure of chromatin. |
| GO:0030466 | | chromatin silencing at silent mating-type cassette | | Repression of transcription at silent mating-type loci by alteration of the structure of chromatin. |
| GO:0006348 | | chromatin silencing at telomere | | Repression of transcription of telomeric DNA by altering the structure of chromatin. |
| GO:0031048 | | chromatin silencing by small RNA | | Repression of transcription by conversion of large regions of DNA into heterochromatin, directed by small RNAs sharing sequence identity to the repressed region. |
| GO:0007059 | | chromosome segregation | | The process in which genetic material, in the form of chromosomes, is organized into specific structures and then physically separated and apportioned to two or more sets. In eukaryotes, chromosome segregation begins with the condensation of chromosomes, includes chromosome separation, and ends when chromosomes have completed movement to the spindle poles. |
| GO:0031047 | | gene silencing by RNA | | Any process in which RNA molecules inactivate expression of target genes. |
| GO:0000122 | | negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter | | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter. |
| GO:0031508 | | pericentric heterochromatin assembly | | The assembly of chromatin into heterochromatin that is located adjacent to the CENP-A rich centromere 'central core' and characterized by the modified histone H3K9me3. |
| GO:0071459 | | protein localization to chromosome, centromeric region | | Any process in which a protein is transported to, or maintained at, the centromeric region of a chromosome. |
cellular component |
| GO:0030958 | | RITS complex | | A protein complex required for heterochromatin assembly; contains an Argonaute homolog, a chromodomain protein, and at least one additional protein; named for RNA-induced initiation of transcriptional gene silencing. |
| GO:0034507 | | chromosome, centromeric outer repeat region | | The portion of the centromeric region of a chromosome that flanks the core region, encompassing repeated regions of a chromosome centromere and the proteins that bind to it. |
| GO:0005737 | | cytoplasm | | All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
| GO:0005856 | | cytoskeleton | | Any of the various filamentous elements that form the internal framework of cells, and typically remain after treatment of the cells with mild detergent to remove membrane constituents and soluble components of the cytoplasm. The term embraces intermediate filaments, microfilaments, microtubules, the microtrabecular lattice, and other structures characterized by a polymeric filamentous nature and long-range order within the cell. The various elements of the cytoskeleton not only serve in the maintenance of cellular shape but also have roles in other cellular functions, including cellular movement, cell division, endocytosis, and movement of organelles. |
| GO:0031934 | | mating-type region heterochromatin | | Heterochromatic regions of the chromosome found at silenced mating-type loci. |
| GO:0044732 | | mitotic spindle pole body | | The microtubule organizing center that forms as part of the mitotic cell cycle; functionally homologous to the animal cell centrosome. |
| GO:0031618 | | nuclear pericentric heterochromatin | | Nuclear heterochromatin that is located adjacent to the CENP-A rich centromere 'central core' and characterized by the modified histone H3K9me3. |
| GO:1990707 | | nuclear subtelomeric heterochromatin | | Heterochromatic regions of the chromosome found at the subtelomeric regions of a chromosome in the nucleus. |
| GO:0005634 | | nucleus | | 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. |
| GO:0005816 | | spindle pole body | | The microtubule organizing center in fungi; functionally homologous to the animal cell centrosome. |
