The encoded protein can form homodimers or heterodimers through the zinc finger domains. In mouse, inhibition of this protein has been associated with apoptosis in some cell types. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: Transcriptional regulator with bimodal DNA-binding specificity. Binds with a higher affinity to methylated CpG dinucleotides in the consensus sequence 5'-CGCG-3' but can also bind to E-box elements (5'-CACGTG-3'). Can also bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair. Represses transcription in a methyl- CpG-dependent manner (PubMed:16354688). Plays an important role in regulating DNA replication and common fragile sites (CFS) stability in a RBBP6- and MCM10-dependent manner; represses expression of MCM10 which plays an important role in DNA- replication (PubMed:24726359). Acts as a transcriptional activator. May be involved in the differentiation and/or survival of late postmitotic neurons (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5EXX3, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16354688, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24726359}. |BTB| |methyl-CpG binding| |regulation of DNA replication| |chromosome| |blood microparticle| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity| |cellular response to DNA damage stimulus| |protein homodimerization activity| |negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |negative regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |negative regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of RNA metabolic process| |negative regulation of cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |DNA binding| |negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |negative regulation of biosynthetic process| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |positive regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |positive regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |cellular response to stress| |negative regulation of gene expression| |positive regulation of RNA metabolic process| |positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of gene expression| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
