A DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3-like that is encoded in the genome of human. [PRO:DNx, UniProtKB:Q9UJW3]
Target | Category | Definition |
protein binding | molecular function | Binding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators] |
enzyme activator activity | molecular function | Binds to and increases the activity of an enzyme. [GOC:dph, GOC:mah, GOC:tb] |
enzyme binding | molecular function | Binding to an enzyme, a protein with catalytic activity. [GOC:jl] |
metal ion binding | molecular function | Binding to a metal ion. [GOC:ai] |
DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity, acting on CpG substrates | molecular function | Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + CpG (in DNA) = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-MeCpG (in DNA). [EC:2.1.1.37, PMID:15689527] |
DNA binding | molecular function | Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). [GOC:dph, GOC:jl, GOC:tb, GOC:vw] |
Target | Category | Definition |
placenta development | biological process | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the placenta over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The placenta is an organ of metabolic interchange between fetus and mother, partly of embryonic origin and partly of maternal origin. [GOC:add, ISBN:068340007X] |
DNA methylation-dependent heterochromatin formation | biological process | Repression of transcription by methylation of DNA, leading to the formation of heterochromatin. [GOC:mah] |
male meiosis I | biological process | A cell cycle process comprising the steps by which a cell progresses through male meiosis I, the first meiotic division in the male germline. [GOC:dph, GOC:mah] |
spermatogenesis | biological process | The developmental process by which male germ line stem cells self renew or give rise to successive cell types resulting in the development of a spermatozoa. [GOC:jid, ISBN:9780878933846, PMID:28073824, PMID:30990821] |
methylation | biological process | The process in which a methyl group is covalently attached to a molecule. [GOC:mah] |
epigenetic programing of female pronucleus | biological process | The global programming of epigenetic modifications in the female pronucleus of the newly fertilized zygote. The maternal genome is protected from global DNA demethylation before the first division of the zygote, and instead undergoes passive, replication-dependent demethylation during early embryogenesis, arising from inhibition of the DNA maintenance methyltransferase Dnmt1. [GOC:sp, PMID:22868271] |
negative regulation of gene expression, epigenetic | biological process | An epigenetic process that silences gene expression at specific genomic regions through chromatin remodeling either by modifying higher order chromatin fiber structure, nucleosomal histones, or the cytosine DNA methylation. [PMID:22243696] |
stem cell differentiation | biological process | The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a stem cell. A stem cell is a cell that retains the ability to divide and proliferate throughout life to provide progenitor cells that can differentiate into specialized cells. [CL:0000034, GOC:isa_complete] |
chorionic trophoblast cell differentiation | biological process | The process in which relatively unspecialized cells of the ectoplacental cone acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize chorionic trophoblasts. These cells will migrate towards the spongiotrophoblast layer and give rise to syncytiotrophoblasts of the labyrinthine layer. [CL:0011101, GOC:dph, PMID:16983341] |
genomic imprinting | biological process | The establishment of epigenetic modifications (imprints) during gametogenesis, and propagation of these imprints during the organism's life. Genomic imprinting leads to an asymmetry between the maternal and paternal alleles and differential expression of the corresponding alleles. This can happen through heterochromatin formation or differential chromatin loop formation. [PMID:24492710, PMID:31896690, PMID:31965998] |
negative regulation of DNA methylation-dependent heterochromatin formation | biological process | Any process that decreases the rate, frequency, or extent of DNA methylation-dependent heterochromatin formation. [GOC:BHF] |
retrotransposon silencing by heterochromatin formation | biological process | A retrotransposon silencing mechanism involving heterochromatin assembly. Heterochromatin is a chromatin conformation that is refractory to transcription. [PMID:25247314, PMID:28951459, PMID:32823517] |
autosome genomic imprinting | biological process | The establishment of epigenetic modifications (imprints) in autosomal (non-sexual) chromosomes during gametogenesis, and propagation of these imprints during the organism's life. Genomic imprinting leads to an asymmetry between the maternal and paternal alleles and differential expression of the corresponding alleles. This can happen through heterochromatin formation or differential chromatin loop formation. [PMID:31782494] |
negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II | biological process | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of transcription mediated by RNA polymerase II. [GOC:go_curators, GOC:txnOH] |
