Systematic name YJR060W
Gene name CBF1
Aliases CEP1, CPF1
Feature type ORF, Verified
Coordinates Chr X:548759..549814
Primary SGDID S000003821


Description of YJR060W: Dual function helix-loop-helix protein; binds the motif CACRTG present at several sites including 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 and required for efficient chromosome segregation[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
