UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q13951 (Q13951)
Gene Name:
CBFB
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Forms the heterodimeric complex core-binding factor (CBF) with RUNX family proteins (RUNX1, RUNX2, and RUNX3). RUNX members modulate the transcription of their target genes through recognizing the core consensus binding sequence 5'-TGTGGT-3', or very rarely, 5'-TGCGGT-3', within their regulatory regions via their runt domain, while CBFB is a non-DNA-binding regulatory subunit that allosterically enhances the sequence-specific DNA-binding capacity of RUNX. The heterodimers bind to the core site of a number of enhancers and promoters, including murine leukemia virus, polyomavirus enhancer, T-cell receptor enhancers, LCK, IL3 and GM-CSF promoters. CBF complexes repress ZBTB7B transcription factor during cytotoxic (CD8+) T cell development. They bind to RUNX-binding sequence within the ZBTB7B locus acting as transcriptional silencer and allowing for cytotoxic T cell differentiation (Microbial infection) Following infection, hijacked by the HIV-1 Vif protein, leading to the formation a cullin-5-RING E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex (ECS complex) that catalyzes ubiquitination and degradation of APOBEC3F and APOBEC3G (PubMed:22190037, PubMed:31792451, PubMed:36598981, PubMed:36754086, PubMed:37419875). The complex can also ubiquitinate APOBEC3H to some extent (PubMed:37640699). Association with HIV-1 Vif protein also inhibits the transcription coactivator activity of CBFB/CBF-beta (PubMed:22190037)
