molecular function |
| GO:0003677 | | DNA binding | | Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). |
| GO:0003700 | | DNA-binding transcription factor activity | | A protein or a member of a complex that interacts selectively and non-covalently with a specific DNA sequence (sometimes referred to as a motif) within the regulatory region of a gene to modulate transcription. Regulatory regions include promoters (proximal and distal) and enhancers. Genes are transcriptional units, and include bacterial operons. |
| GO:0000981 | | DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific | | A protein or a member of a complex that interacts selectively and non-covalently with a specific DNA sequence (sometimes referred to as a motif) within the regulatory region of a RNA polymerase II-transcribed gene to modulate transcription. Regulatory regions include promoters (proximal and distal) and enhancers. Genes are transcriptional units. |
| GO:0000978 | | RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a specific upstream regulatory DNA sequence (transcription factor recognition sequence or binding site) located in the proximal promoter of a gene transcribed by RNA polymerase II. The proximal promoter is in cis with and relatively close to the core promoter. |
| GO:0001135 | | RNA polymerase II transcription regulator recruiting activity | | The function of binding to an RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) transcription regulator and recruiting it to the general transcription machinery complex in order to modulate transcription initiation. |
| GO:0003682 | | chromatin binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with chromatin, the network of fibers of DNA, protein, and sometimes RNA, that make up the chromosomes of the eukaryotic nucleus during interphase. |
| GO:0042802 | | identical protein binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein or proteins. |
| GO:0001084 | | obsolete transcription factor activity, TFIID-class binding | | OBSOLETE. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a basal RNA polymerase II transcription factor of the TFIID class in order to modulate transcription. The transcription factor may or may not also interact selectively with DNA as well. |
| GO:0001190 | | obsolete transcriptional activator activity, RNA polymerase II transcription factor binding | | OBSOLETE. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an RNA polymerase II transcription factor, which may be a single protein or a complex, in order to increase the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter. A protein binding transcription factor may or may not also interact with the template nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) as well. |
| GO:0001191 | | obsolete transcriptional repressor activity, RNA polymerase II transcription factor binding | | OBSOLETE. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an RNA polymerase II transcription factor, which may be a single protein or a complex, in order to stop, prevent, or reduce the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter. A protein binding transcription factor may or may not also interact with the template nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) as well. |
| 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:0043565 | | sequence-specific DNA binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with DNA of a specific nucleotide composition, e.g. GC-rich DNA binding, or with a specific sequence motif or type of DNA e.g. promotor binding or rDNA binding. |
biological process |
| GO:0008652 | | cellular amino acid biosynthetic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents. |
| GO:0010691 | | negative regulation of ribosomal protein gene transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter in response to nutrient levels | | Any process that decreases the frequency, rate or extent of the synthesis of RNA from ribosomal protein genes by RNA polymerase II, originating at an RNA polymerase II promoter, as a result of a stimulus reflecting the presence, absence, or concentration of nutrients. |
| GO:0000122 | | negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II | | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of transcription mediated by RNA polymerase II. |
| GO:0001080 | | nitrogen catabolite activation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter | | A transcription regulation process in which the presence of one nitrogen source leads to an increase in the frequency, rate, or extent of transcription, from an RNA polymerase II promoter, of specific genes involved in the metabolism of other nitrogen sources. |
| GO:0045899 | | positive regulation of RNA polymerase II transcriptional preinitiation complex assembly | | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of RNA polymerase II transcriptional preinitiation complex assembly. |
| GO:1903833 | | positive regulation of cellular response to amino acid starvation | | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cellular response to amino acid starvation. |
| GO:0060261 | | positive regulation of transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter | | Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of a process involved in starting transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter. |
| GO:0006355 | | regulation of transcription, DNA-templated | | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription. |
| GO:0006366 | | transcription by RNA polymerase II | | The synthesis of RNA from a DNA template by RNA polymerase II, originating at an RNA polymerase II promoter. Includes transcription of messenger RNA (mRNA) and certain small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). |
| GO:0006351 | | transcription, DNA-templated | | The cellular synthesis of RNA on a template of DNA. |
cellular component |
| GO:0000790 | | nuclear chromatin | | The ordered and organized complex of DNA, protein, and sometimes RNA, that forms the 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:0005667 | | transcription factor complex | | A protein complex that is capable of associating with DNA by direct binding, or via other DNA-binding proteins or complexes, and regulating transcription. |
