Gene Ontology Help

CST complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
RPA-like (replication protein A) complex, that has high affinity for telomeric ssDNA. The complex is assembled during late S-G2 and is involved in capping, and thus protecting, single stranded telomeric DNA and preventing chromosomal damage by inhibiting telomerase activity. Plays a role in the regulation of the synthesis of C strand via its interaction with polymerase alpha primase.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
