DNA-binding transcriptional activator; involved in cell cycle regulation; overexpression promotes recovery from pheromone induced arrest via CLN1/2 transcription, induction of of IME1 during sporulation, and suppression of stress sensitivity resulting from mutation of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Rsp5p; binds upstream of BAR1 and cell cycle-related genes; phosphorylated form may be ubiquitinated by Dma2p; potential Cdc28p substrate; regulated by Swi4/6 cell-cycle box binding factor (SBF)
