Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in cellular response to carbohydrate stimulus; regulation of fungal-type cell wall organization; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Orthologous to human MAZ (MYC associated zinc finger protein); ZNF362 (zinc finger protein 362); and ZNF692 (zinc finger protein 692). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

NP_014756.3

Zinc-finger transcription factor; involved in the diauxic shift; activates transcription of genes involved in carbon metabolism and energy production on glucose, while it activates transcription of genes involved in cell wall organization and biogenesis on glycerol-lactate; may also function as a co-repressor; capable of forming the prion [AZF1+]; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia; contains polyglutamine and polyasparagine domains
