Descriptions

Sox11 acts as a transcriptional activator of TEAD2 by binding to its gene promoter. This protein possesses intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) with large negative charge, some of which involve a consecutive sequence of aspartate (D) or glutamate (E) residues, known as D/E repeats. These D/E repeats can cause autoinhibition through intramolecular electrostatic interaction with HMG boxes and modulate binding to DNA. This autoinhibited state can transition into the uninhibited complex with DNA through an electrostatically driven induced-fit process, which accelerates the target DNA search kinetics in the presence of non-functional high-affinity ligands ('decoys').

1 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
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
DNA binding Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific A DNA-binding transcription factor activity that activates or increases transcription of specific gene sets transcribed by RNA polymerase II.
RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding Binding to a specific upstream regulatory DNA sequence (transcription factor recognition sequence or binding site) located in cis relative to the transcription start site (i.e., on the same strand of DNA) of a gene transcribed by RNA polymerase II.
sequence-specific DNA binding Binding to 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.

4 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
anatomical structure morphogenesis The process in which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
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.
nervous system development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of nervous tissue over time, from its formation to its mature state.
neuron differentiation The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron.
