Dr1 - down-regulator of transcription 1

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II general transcription initiation factor activity; TBP-class protein binding activity; and core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex assembly; histone H3 acetylation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of ATAC complex. Is expressed in central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; limb mesenchyme; and neural retina. Orthologous to human DR1 (down-regulator of transcription 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
