Abf1, Reb1, and Tbf1 control ribosome biogenesis gene expression in budding yeast.
Title: Abf1 and other general regulatory factors control ribosome biogenesis gene expression in budding yeast.

Reb1p indeed binds to the TFC6 promoter, and is important for proper transcription start site selection and protein expression. Interestingly, loss of Reb1p association at this site has a similar effect on the adjacent divergently transcribed ESC2 promoter, resulting in a significant increase of 5'-extended ESC2 transcripts and reduction of Esc2 protein levels.
Title: Transcription factor Reb1 is required for proper transcriptional start site usage at the divergently transcribed TFC6-ESC2 locus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

It was found that ABF1, FKH2, and REB1 overexpression decreased the growth of strains in a prion-dependent manner and, thus, might influence [PSI;(+)] prion toxicity.

Heterozygous diploid knockout strains for FHL1, RAP1, REB1, and MCM1 genes showed significantly short lifespan.

Data show that the transcriptional activator Reb1p bound to DNA is a roadblock for RNAPII, which pauses and is ubiquitinated, thus triggering termination
Title: Roadblock termination by reb1p restricts cryptic and readthrough transcription.
