  ID: USF1_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Upstream stimulatory factor 1; AltName: Full=Class B basic helix-loop-helix protein 11; Short=bHLHb11; AltName: Full=Major late transcription factor 1;
FUNCTION: Transcription factor that binds to a symmetrical DNA sequence (E-boxes) (5'-CACGTG-3') that is found in a variety of viral and cellular promoters.
SUBUNIT: Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Binds DNA as a homodimer or a heterodimer (USF1/USF2). Interacts with varicella-zoster virus IE62 protein.
INTERACTION: Q92831:KAT2B; NbExp=5; IntAct=EBI-1054489, EBI-477430;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
DISEASE: Genetic variations in USF1 are associated with hyperlipidemia combined type 1 (HYPLIP1) [MIM:602491]; also known as familial combined hyperlipidemia type 1 (FCHL1). HYPLIP1 is characterized by elevated levels of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides or both, and is observed in about 20% of individuals with premature coronary heart disease.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) domain.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
