Descriptions

DNMT3A is required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development. The ADD domain of DNMT3A inhibits the enzymatic activity of its catalytic domain (CD) by blocking DNA-binding. Both the ADD domain (476-609) and the ADD-linker (476-626) show comparable binding affinity to the CD domain, but only the ADD-linker (476-626) retains its inhibitory function. Therefore, both the ADD domain and linker are important for the autoinhibition of DNMT3A.

4 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
chromosome, centromeric region The region of a chromosome that includes the centromeric DNA and associated proteins. In monocentric chromosomes, this region corresponds to a single area of the chromosome, whereas in holocentric chromosomes, it is evenly distributed along the chromosome.
heterochromatin A compact and highly condensed form of chromatin that is refractory to transcription.
nucleoplasm That part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus.
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.

9 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
chromatin binding Binding to chromatin, the network of fibers of DNA, protein, and sometimes RNA, that make up the chromosomes of the eukaryotic nucleus during interphase.
DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity Catalysis of the reaction
DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity, acting on CpG substrates Catalysis of the reaction
DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity, acting on CpN substrates Catalysis of the reaction
DNA binding Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
histone deacetylase binding Binding to histone deacetylase.
lncRNA binding Binding to a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA).
metal ion binding Binding to a metal ion.
methyltransferase activity Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group to an acceptor molecule.

10 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
cellular response to amino acid stimulus Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an amino acid stimulus. An amino acid is a carboxylic acids containing one or more amino groups.
DNA methylation-dependent heterochromatin formation Repression of transcription by methylation of DNA, leading to the formation of heterochromatin.
heterochromatin formation An epigenetic gene silencing mechanism in which chromatin is compacted into heterochromatin, resulting in a chromatin conformation refractory to transcription. This process starts with heterochromatin nucleation, its spreading, and ends with heterochromatin boundary formation.
methylation The process in which a methyl group is covalently attached to a molecule.
negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription.
negative regulation of gene expression, epigenetic An epigenetic process that silences gene expression at specific genomic regions through chromatin remodelling either by modifying higher order chromatin fiber structure, nucleosomal histones, or the DNA.
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.
positive regulation of neuron differentiation Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of neuron differentiation.
post-fertilization epigenetic regulation of gene expression The covalent transfer of a methyl group to C-5 of cytosine that contributes to the epigenetic regulation of embryonic gene expression.
protein-containing complex localization A localization process that acts on a protein complex; the complex is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location.
