Ubtf - upstream binding transcription factor

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 from RNA polymerase I promoter. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; rDNA heterochromatin assembly; and transcription elongation from RNA polymerase I promoter. Located in fibrillar center. Orthologous to human UBTF (upstream binding transcription factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
