Component of the DREAM complex, a multiprotein complex that can both act as a transcription activator or repressor depending on the context (, ). In G0 phase, the complex binds to more than 800 promoters and is required for repression of E2F target genes (, ). In S phase, the complex selectively binds to the promoters of G2/M genes whose products are required for mitosis and participates in their cell cycle dependent activation (, ). In the complex, acts as a DNA-binding protein that binds the promoter of CDK1 in a sequence-specific manner . Specifically recognizes the consensus motif 5'-TTYRAA-3' in target DNA .
