GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 8737172
Species: Chinchilla lanigera
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Wrap53
Name: WD repeat containing antisense to TP53
Acc ID: GO:0015030
Term: Cajal body
Definition: A class of nuclear body, first seen after silver staining by Ramon y Cajal in 1903, enriched in small nuclear ribonucleoproteins, and certain general RNA polymerase II transcription factors; ultrastructurally, they appear as a tangle of coiled, electron-dense threads roughly 0.5 micrometers in diameter; involved in aspects of snRNP biogenesis; the protein coilin serves as a marker for Cajal bodies. Some argue that Cajal bodies are the sites for preassembly of transcriptosomes, unitary particles involved in transcription and processing of RNA.
Definition Source(s): NIF_Subcellular:nlx_subcell_090901, PMID:10944589, PMID:11031238, PMID:7559785
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
