Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA polymerase I general transcription initiation factor activity; RNA polymerase I transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and scaffold protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase I and transcription initiation at RNA polymerase I promoter. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor and transcription elongation by RNA polymerase I. Located in fibrillar center. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in childhood-onset neurodegeneration with brain atrophy. Orthologous to human UBTF (upstream binding transcription factor).

What's a GeneRIF?

augmented ribosome biogenesis occurs in UBF-dependent manner during increased protein synthesis induced by high glucose in glomerular epithelial cells that correlates with UBF activation and renal hypertrophy in rodents with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Title: Ribosomal biogenesis induction by high glucose requires activation of upstream binding factor in kidney glomerular epithelial cells.
Growth factor stimulation induces an increase in rRNA transcriptional activity via phosphorylation of UBF at serine 389 in part by facilitating a rate-limiting step in the recruitment of RNA polymerase I: i.e., recruitment of SL1.
Title: Mass spectrometric identification of phosphorylation sites of rRNA transcription factor upstream binding factor.
competitive recruitment of CBP and Rb-HDAC regulates UBF acetylation and ribosomal transcription

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
