Protein BANP (Banp)

Controls V(D)J recombination through T-cell development by repressing T-cell receptor (TCR) beta enhancer function. Binds to scaffold/matrix attachment area beta (S/MARbeta), an ATC-rich DNA sequence located upstream of the TCR beta enhancer.

Represses cyclin D1 transcription by recruiting HDAC1 to its promoter, thereby diminishing H3K9ac, H3S10ph and H4K8ac levels. Promotes TP53'Ser-15' phosphorylation and nuclear accumulation, which causes cell cycle arrest and inhibits tumor growth.
