EOG8FTZFS GO:0005634 28/84 nucleus cellular_component "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." [GOC:go_curators] EOG8FTZFS GO:0003677 28/84 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] EOG8FTZFS GO:0045893 27/84 positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated biological_process "Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription." [GOC:go_curators, GOC:txnOH] EOG8FTZFS GO:0006367 24/84 transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter biological_process "Any process involved in the assembly of the RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex (PIC) at an RNA polymerase II promoter region of a DNA template, resulting in the subsequent synthesis of RNA from that promoter. The initiation phase includes PIC assembly and the formation of the first few bonds in the RNA chain, including abortive initiation, which occurs when the first few nucleotides are repeatedly synthesized and then released. Promoter clearance, or release, is the transition between the initiation and elongation phases of transcription." [GOC:mah, GOC:txnOH] EOG8FTZFS GO:0003824 23/84 catalytic activity molecular_function "Catalysis of a biochemical reaction at physiological temperatures. In biologically catalyzed reactions, the reactants are known as substrates, and the catalysts are naturally occurring macromolecular substances known as enzymes. Enzymes possess specific binding sites for substrates, and are usually composed wholly or largely of protein, but RNA that has catalytic activity (ribozyme) is often also regarded as enzymatic." [ISBN:0198506732] EOG8FTZFS GO:0003743 3/84 translation initiation factor activity molecular_function "Functions in the initiation of ribosome-mediated translation of mRNA into a polypeptide." [ISBN:0198506732] EOG8FTZFS GO:0016740 1/84 transferase activity molecular_function "Catalysis of the transfer of a group, e.g. a methyl group, glycosyl group, acyl group, phosphorus-containing, or other groups, from one compound (generally regarded as the donor) to another compound (generally regarded as the acceptor). Transferase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 2." [ISBN:0198506732] EOG8FTZFS GO:0060261 1/84 positive regulation of transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter biological_process "Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of a process involved in starting transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter." [GOC:dph, GOC:tb, GOC:txnOH] EOG8FTZFS GO:0005674 1/84 transcription factor TFIIF complex cellular_component "A general transcription initiation factor which in humans consists of a heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Helps recruit RNA polymerase II to the initiation complex and promotes translation elongation." [GOC:jl, PMID:7597077] EOG8FTZFS GO:0045944 1/84 positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter biological_process "Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter." [GOC:go_curators, GOC:txnOH] EOG8FTZFS GO:0032968 1/84 positive regulation of transcription elongation from RNA polymerase II promoter biological_process "Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of transcription elongation, the extension of an RNA molecule after transcription initiation and promoter clearance by the addition of ribonucleotides, catalyzed by RNA polymerase II." [GOC:mah, GOC:txnOH] EOG8FTZFS GO:0022008 1/84 neurogenesis biological_process "Generation of cells within the nervous system." [GO_REF:0000021, GOC:cls, GOC:curators, GOC:dgh, GOC:dph, GOC:jid, GOC:mtg_15jun06] EOG8FTZFS GO:0001096 1/84 TFIIF-class transcription factor binding molecular_function "Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a basal RNA polymerase II transcription factor of the TFIIF class, one of the factors involved in formation of the preinitiation complex (PIC) by RNA polymerase II and defined as a basal or general transcription factor."
