In the complex, it plays a central role by being recruited to rDNA and by targeting chromatin modifying enzymes such as HDAC1, leading to repress RNA polymerase I transcription. Recruited to rDNA via its interaction with TTF1 and its ability to recognize and bind histone H4 acetylated on 'Lys- 16' (H4K16ac), leading to deacetylation of H4K5ac, H4K8ac, H4K12ac but not H4K16ac. Specifically binds pRNAs, 150-250 nucleotide RNAs that are complementary in sequence to the rDNA promoter; pRNA- binding is required for heterochromatin formation and rDNA silencing (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |MBD| |PHD| |DDT| |Bromodomain| |rDNA heterochromatin| |chromatin silencing complex| |RNA polymerase I CORE element sequence-specific DNA binding| |RNA polymerase I preinitiation complex assembly| |chromatin silencing at rDNA| |lysine-acetylated histone binding| |nuclear receptor binding| |transcription preinitiation complex assembly| |transcription initiation from RNA polymerase I promoter| |transcription by RNA polymerase I| |DNA alkylation| |DNA methylation| |histone deacetylation| |protein deacetylation| |chromatin organization involved in negative regulation of transcription| |chromatin silencing| |protein deacylation| |macromolecule deacylation| |DNA methylation or demethylation| |chromatin organization involved in regulation of transcription| |negative regulation of gene expression, epigenetic| |DNA modification| |histone binding| |gene silencing| |chromatin remodeling| |protein-DNA complex assembly| |DNA-templated transcription, initiation| |regulation of gene expression, epigenetic| |protein-DNA complex subunit organization| |macromolecule methylation| |methylation| |histone modification| |covalent chromatin modification| |nuclear speck| |transcription, DNA-templated| |nucleic acid-templated transcription| |RNA biosynthetic process| |chromatin organization| |DNA metabolic process| |cellular protein-containing complex assembly| |nucleolus| |chromosome organization| |nucleobase-containing compound biosynthetic process| |heterocycle biosynthetic process| |aromatic compound biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |negative regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |negative regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of RNA metabolic process| |negative regulation of cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |RNA binding| |negative regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of biosynthetic process| |protein-containing complex assembly| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |RNA metabolic process| |cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of gene expression| |macromolecule biosynthetic process| |protein-containing complex subunit organization| |gene expression| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp502|Milciclib 2μM R08 exp502]]|-2.06| |[[:results:exp80|RO-3307 4.7μM R02 exp80]]|-1.89| |[[:results:exp451|Atovaquone 15μM R08 exp451]]|-1.8| |[[:results:exp318|ABT-702 5μM R07 exp318]]|-1.73| |[[:results:exp242|Radicicol 0.16μM R05 exp242]]|1.75| |[[:results:exp316|Geldanamycin 0.015 to 0.025μM on day4 R07 exp316]]|1.82| |[[:results:exp160|Ribavirin 10 to 15μM on day4 R04 exp160]]|1.89| |[[:results:exp123|GSK-LSD1 10μM R03 exp123]]|1.95| |[[:results:exp480|ETC-159 50μM R08 exp480]]|2.25| |[[:results:exp243|S-trityl-L-cysteine 0.5μM R05 exp243]]|2.38| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
