CC -!- FUNCTION: Multifunctional transcription factor with different regions
CC mediating its different effects (PubMed:10640682). Acts by binding (via
CC its C-terminal domain) to sequences related to the consensus octamer
CC motif 5'-ATGCAAAT-3' in the regulatory regions of its target genes.
CC Regulates the expression of specific genes involved in differentiation
CC and survival within a subset of neuronal lineages (PubMed:11053412). It
CC has been shown that activation of some of these genes requires its N-
CC terminal domain, maybe through a neuronal-specific cofactor. Ativates
CC BCL2 expression and protects neuronal cells from apoptosis (via the N-
CC terminal domain). Induces neuronal process outgrowth and the coordinate
CC expression of genes encoding synaptic proteins. Exerts its major
CC developmental effects in somatosensory neurons and in brainstem nuclei
CC involved in motor control. Stimulates the binding affinity of the
CC nuclear estrogene receptor ESR1 to DNA estrogen response element (ERE),
CC and hence modulates ESR1-induced transcriptional activity. May
CC positively regulate POU4F2 and POU4F3. Regulates dorsal root ganglion
CC sensory neuron specification and axonal projection into the spinal
CC cord. Plays a role in TNFSF11-mediated terminal osteoclast
CC differentiation. Negatively regulates its own expression interacting
CC directly with a highly conserved autoregulatory domain surrounding the
CC transcription initiation site (By similarity).
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P17208, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10640682,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:11053412}.
CC -!- FUNCTION: [Isoform 2]: Able to act as transcription factor, cannot
CC regulate the expression of the same subset of genes than isoform 1.
CC Does not have anitapoptotic effect on neuronal cells.
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P17208}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Interacts (via N-terminus) with RIT2; the interaction controls
CC POU4F1 transactivation activity on some neuronal target genes. Isoform
CC 1 interacts with POU4F2; this interaction inhibits both POU4F1 DNA-
CC binding and transcriptional activities. Isoform 1 interacts (C-
CC terminus) with ESR1 (via DNA-binding domain); this interaction
CC decreases the estrogen receptor ESR1 transcriptional activity in a
CC DNA- and ligand 17-beta-estradiol-independent manner.
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P17208}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P17208}. Cytoplasm
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P17208}.

CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected in brain, spinal cord and dorsal root
CC ganglion (PubMed:2739723, PubMed:8835784). Isoform 2 is detected in
CC brain, spinal cord, dorsal root ganglion and spleen (PubMed:8835784).
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2739723, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8835784}.
CC -!- DOMAIN: The C-terminal domain is able to act as both DNA-binding domain
CC and a transcriptional activator. The N-terminal domain is also required
CC for transactivation activity on some target genes acting as a discrete
CC activation domain. Neurite outgrowth and expression of genes required
CC for synapse formation are primarily dependent on the C-terminal domain,
CC however the N-terminal domain is required for maximal induction.
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P17208}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the POU transcription factor family. Class-4
CC subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
