6 |
sequence-specific DNA binding |
F |
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with 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. |
GO:0003700 |
3 |
transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding |
F |
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a specific DNA sequence in order to modulate transcription. The transcription factor may or may not also interact selectively with a protein or macromolecular complex. |
GO:0005634 |
5 |
nucleus |
C |
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. |
GO:0030154 |
5 |
cell differentiation |
P |
The process in which relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state. |
GO:0006355 |
6 |
regulation of transcription, DNA-templated |
P |
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription. |
GO:0006351 |
6 |
transcription, DNA-templated |
P |
The cellular synthesis of RNA on a template of DNA. |
GO:0003677 |
5 |
DNA binding |
F |
Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). |
