ID:MAF1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Repressor of RNA polymerase III transcription MAF1 homolog; FUNCTION: Element of the mTORC1 signaling pathway that acts as a mediator of diverse signals and that represses RNA polymerase III transcription. Inhibits the de novo assembly of TFIIIB onto DNA. SUBUNIT: Interacts with BRF2. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. PTM: Phosphorylated at Ser-60, Ser-68 and Ser-75; the major sites of phosphorylation. Nuclear accumulation correlates with a concomitant dephosphorylation. Phosphorylation may attenuate its RNA polymerase III-repressive function. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MAF1 family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

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.
