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
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
euchromatin A dispersed and relatively uncompacted form of chromatin that is in a transcription-competent conformation.
nuclear matrix The dense fibrillar network lying on the inner side of the nuclear membrane.
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.

4 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding Binding to a sequence of DNA that is part of a core promoter region. The core promoter is composed of the transcription start site and binding sites for the RNA polymerase and the basal transcription machinery. The transcribed region might be described as a gene, cistron, or operon.
DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity Catalysis of the reaction
metal ion binding Binding to a metal ion.
protein-cysteine methyltransferase activity Catalysis of the reaction

5 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
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 via chromosomal CpG dinucleotide methylation An epigenetic gene regulation mechanism that negatively regulates gene expression by methylation of cytosine residues in chromosomal CpG islands. CpG islands are genomic regions that contain a high frequency of the CG dinucleotide and are often associated with the transcription start site of genes.
response to fibroblast growth factor Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a fibroblast growth factor stimulus.
response to heat Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a heat stimulus, a temperature stimulus above the optimal temperature for that organism.
