HMBOX1 - homeobox containing 1

Function

Binds directly to 5'-TTAGGG-3' repeats in telomeric DNA (PubMed:23813958, PubMed:23685356). Associates with the telomerase complex at sites of active telomere processing and positively regulates telomere elongation (PubMed:23685356). Important for TERT binding to chromatin, indicating a role in recruitment of the telomerase complex to telomeres (By similarity). Also plays a role in the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway in telomerase-negative cells where it promotes formation and/or maintenance of ALT-associated promyelocytic leukemia bodies (APBs) (PubMed:23813958). Enhances formation of telomere C-circles in ALT cells, suggesting a possible role in telomere recombination (PubMed:23813958). Might also be involved in the DNA damage response at telomeres (PubMed:23813958).

List of causal flows containing the regulator.

Causal Flows are statistically significant links between putative causal events (somatic mutations, copy number variations, chromosomal translocations, etc.) and the activity levels of regulators and regulons. In the causal flow, a mutation may causally activate or deactivate a downstream regulator which then might up- down-regulates a regulonthat contains genes with similar expression profiles and binding sites.
