EOG8NW21J GO:0005634 24/93 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] EOG8NW21J GO:0003677 23/93 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] EOG8NW21J GO:0042803 1/93 protein homodimerization activity molecular_function "Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein to form a homodimer." [GOC:jl] EOG8NW21J GO:0016581 1/93 NuRD complex cellular_component "An approximately 2 MDa multi-subunit complex that exhibits ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling activity in addition to histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity, and has been shown to establish transcriptional repression of a number of target genes in vertebrates, invertebrates and fungi. Amongst its subunits, the NuRD complex contains histone deacetylases, histone binding proteins and Mi-2-like proteins." [PMID:10589671, PMID:11743021, PMID:17289569] EOG8NW21J GO:0003714 1/93 transcription corepressor activity molecular_function "Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a repressing transcription factor and also with the basal transcription machinery in order to stop, prevent, or reduce the frequency, rate or extent of transcription. Cofactors generally do not bind the template nucleic acid, but rather mediate protein-protein interactions between repressive transcription factors and the basal transcription machinery."

[GOC:dph, GOC:ems, GOC:isa_complete, GOC:tb] EOG8NW21J GO:0045892 1/93 negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated biological_process "Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription." [GOC:go_curators, GOC:txnOH] EOG8NW21J GO:0005515 1/93 protein binding molecular_function "Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules)." [GOC:go_curators] EOG8NW21J GO:0005700 1/93 polytene chromosome cellular_component "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." [ISBN:0198506732] EOG8NW21J GO:0008327 1/93 methyl-CpG binding molecular_function "Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a methylated cytosine/guanine dinucleotide." [GOC:jl, PMID:11746232]
