Function
Transcription factor involved in osteoblastic differentiation and skeletal morphogenesis. Essential for the maturation of osteoblasts and both intramembranous and endochondral ossification. CBF binds to the core site, 5'-PYGPYGGT-3', of a number of enhancers and promoters, including murine leukemia virus, polyomavirus enhancer, T-cell receptor enhancers, osteocalcin, osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, alpha 1(I) collagen, LCK, IL-3 and GM-CSF promoters. Inhibits KAT6B-dependent transcriptional activation (By similarity). In osteoblasts, supports transcription activation: synergizes with SPEN/MINT to enhance FGFR2-mediated activation of the osteocalcin FGF-responsive element (OCFRE).
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Mouse Runt-related transcription factor 2
Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. The alpha subunit binds DNA as a monomer and through the Runt domain. DNA-binding is increased by heterodimerization. Interacts with XRCC6 (Ku70) and XRCC5 (Ku80). Interacts with cyclin B1 CCNB1, KAT6A and KAT6B (By similarity). Interacts with HIVEP3. Interacts with IFI204. Interaction with SATB2 results in enhanced DNA binding and transactivation by these transcription factors. Binds to HIPK3.
