Descriptions

ASH1L (absent, small, or homeotic-like 1) is a histone methyltransferase (HMTase) involved in gene activation. Its autoinhibitory loop in the post-SET subdomain blocks the access of histone substrate to the active site in the catalytic SET domain. There is another loop in the SET-I subdomain. The SET-I region forms key contacts with histone substrates, indicating that it likely functions in determining substrate specificity among different HMTases. The mutations within the SET-I loop decreases ASH1L enzyme activity. ASH1L also contains three C-terminal chromatic-interacting domains (bromodomain, plant homeodomain, and bromo-associated homology domain), which recognize post-translational modifications on native nucleosomes and facilitate catalytic activity of the SET domain via substrate recruitment.

6 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
chromatin The ordered and organized complex of DNA, protein, and sometimes RNA, that forms the chromosome.
histone methyltransferase complex A multimeric complex that is able to catalyze the addition of methyl groups to histone proteins.
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.
polytene chromosome A type of chromosome in a polyploid cell, formed when multiple copies of homologous chromosomes are aligned side by side to give a giant chromosome in which distinct chromosome bands are readily visible.
protein-containing complex A stable assembly of two or more macromolecules, i.e. proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids, in which at least one component is a protein and the constituent parts function together.

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.
histone acetyltransferase binding Binding to an histone acetyltransferase.

8 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
egg-laying behavior A reproductive behavior that results in the deposition of eggs (either fertilized or not) upon a surface or into a medium such as water.
embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the embryo over time, from zygote formation through syncytial blastoderm to the hatching of the first instar larva. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
methylation The process in which a methyl group is covalently attached to a molecule.
oogenesis The complete process of formation and maturation of an ovum or female gamete from a primordial female germ cell. Examples of this process are found in Mus musculus and Drosophila melanogaster.
positive regulation of gene expression Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of gene expression. Gene expression is the process in which a gene's coding sequence is converted into a mature gene product (protein or RNA).
regulation of DNA-templated transcription Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription.
retrotransposon silencing by heterochromatin formation A retrotransposon silencing mechanism involving heterochromatin assembly. Heterochromatin is a chromatin conformation that is refractory to transcription.
transcription initiation-coupled chromatin remodeling An epigenetic mechanism of regulation of gene expression that involves chromatin remodeling to capacitate gene expression by either modifying the chromatin fiber, the nucleosomal histones, or the DNA.
