Upstream binding factor (UBF) is a transcription factor
required for expression of the 18S, 5.8S, and 28S ribosomal RNAs,
along with SL1 (a complex of TBP (MIM 600075) and multiple
TBP-associated factors or 'TAFs'). Two UBF polypeptides, of 94 and
97 kD, exist in the human (Bell et al., 1988 [PubMed 3413483]). UBF
is a nucleolar phosphoprotein with both DNA binding and
transactivation domains. Sequence-specific DNA binding to the core
and upstream control elements of the human rRNA promoter is
mediated through several HMG boxes (Jantzen et al., 1990 [PubMed
2330041]).1) Hisaoka, M., et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 30(20):4952-4964(2010)
