GO:0003674
|
molecular_function
|
A molecular process that can be carried out by the action of a single macromolecular machine, usually via direct physical interactions with other molecular entities. Function in this sense denotes an action, or activity, that a gene product (or a complex) performs. |
GO:0005488
|
binding
|
The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule. |
GO:0003723
|
RNA binding
|
Binding to an RNA molecule or a portion thereof. |
GO:0003676
|
nucleic acid binding
|
Binding to a nucleic acid. |
GO:0005515
|
protein binding
|
Binding to a protein. |
GO:0098772
|
molecular function regulator activity
|
A molecular function regulator regulates the activity of its target via non-covalent binding that does not result in covalent modification to the target. Examples of molecular function regulators include regulatory subunits of multimeric enzymes and channels. Mechanisms of regulation include allosteric changes in the target and competitive inhibition. |
GO:0140678
|
molecular function inhibitor activity
|
A molecular function regulator that inhibits or decreases the activity of its target via non-covalent binding that does not result in covalent modification to the target. |
GO:0061980
|
regulatory RNA binding
|
Binding to a small regulatory RNA, a short RNA (usually 50-200 nt long) that is either independently transcribed or processed from a longer RNA by an RNAse enzyme. |
GO:0035198
|
miRNA binding
|
Binding to a microRNA, a 21-23 nucleotide RNA that is processed from a stem-loop RNA precursor (pre-miRNA) that is encoded within plant and animal genomes. |
GO:0140869
|
miRNA inhibitor activity via base-pairing
|
Stops, prevents or reduces the activity of miRNA-mediated gene silencing activity by base-pairing with a target miRNA. An example of this activity is mediated by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). |
