Component of the DREAM complex, a multiprotein complex that can both act as a transcription activator or repressor depending on the context (PubMed:17531812, PubMed:17671431). In G0 phase, the complex binds to more than 800 promoters and is required for repression of E2F target genes (PubMed:17531812, PubMed:17671431). 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 (PubMed:17531812, PubMed:17671431). In the complex, acts as a DNA-binding protein that binds the promoter of CDK1 in a sequence-specific manner (PubMed:19725879). Specifically recognizes the consensus motif 5′-TTYRAA-3′ in target DNA (PubMed:27465258).
