EOG84N16S GO:0045892 1/8 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] EOG84N16S GO:0042393 1/8 histone binding molecular_function "Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a histone, any of a group of water-soluble proteins found in association with the DNA of plant and animal chromosomes. They are involved in the condensation and coiling of chromosomes during cell division and have also been implicated in nonspecific suppression of gene activity." [GOC:jl] EOG84N16S GO:0003714 1/8 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."
