Modulation of the activity of the upstream binding factor (UBF) plays a key role in cell cycle-dependent regulation of rRNA synthesis. Activation of rDNA transcription on serum stimulation requires phosphorylation of UBF at serine 484 by G(1)-specific cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk)/cyclin complexes. After G(1) progression UBF is phosphorylated at serine 388 by cdk2/cyclin E and cdk2/cyclin A. Conversion of serine 388 to glycine abolishes UBF activity, whereas substitution by aspartate enhances the transactivating function of UBF. Protein-protein interaction studies reveal that phosphorylation at serine 388 is required for the interaction between RNA polymerase I and UBF. The results suggest that phosphorylation of UBF represents a powerful means of modulating the assembly of the transcription initiation complex in a proliferation- and cell cycle-dependent fashion.
