Function

Recognizes the ribosomal RNA gene promoter and activates transcription mediated by RNA polymerase I through cooperative interactions with the transcription factor SL1/TIF-IB complex. It binds specifically to the upstream control element. {ECO:0000269PubMed:7982918}.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000250}.
