Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chromatin remodeling; ncRNA transcription; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in kinetochore. Part of Cbf1-Met4-Met28 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiovascular system disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human USF1 (upstream transcription factor 1).

Both the binding and dissociation rates of Reb1 and Cbf1 are significantly slower at the nucleosomal sites relative to those for naked DNA, demonstrating that the high affinities are achieved by increasing the dwell time on nucleosomes in order to compensate for reduced binding.

Cen-RNAs were more abundant in rnh1Delta cells but only in mid-late S phase. However, fork pausing at centromeres was not elevated in rnh1Delta cells but rather was due to centromere-binding proteins, including Cbf1 Strains with increased cen-RNA lost centromere plasmids at elevated rates.

we provide the first evidence for a role of USF1 in respiration since it appeared to complement Cbf1 in vivo as determined by respiration phenotypes. In addition, we confirmed USF1 as a substrate of human PAS kinase (hPASK) in vitro Combined, our data supports a model in which Cbf1/USF1 functions to partition glucose toward respiration and away from lipid biogenesis

Preferred Names: Cbf1p

NP_012594.1

Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein; forms homodimer to bind E-box consensus sequence CACGTG present at MET gene promoters and centromere DNA element I (CDEI); affects nucleosome positioning at this motif; associates with other transcription factors such as Met4p and Isw1p to mediate transcriptional activation or repression; associates with kinetochore proteins, required for chromosome segregation; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
