UniProtKB description:  Capable of inducing cell cycle arrest in G1 and G2 phases (PubMed:8521522, PubMed:9393858). Acts as a tumor suppressor (PubMed:15601844, PubMed:17936562, PubMed:8521522, PubMed:9393858). Binds to MDM2 and blocks its nucleocytoplasmic shuttling by sequestering it in the nucleolus (PubMed:10359817, PubMed:9529248). This inhibits the oncogenic action of MDM2 by blocking MDM2-induced degradation of p53 and enhancing p53-dependent transactivation and apoptosis (PubMed:10359817). Also induces G2 arrest and apoptosis in a p53-independent manner by preventing the activation of cyclin B1/CDC2 complexes (PubMed:15361884). Binds to BCL6 and down-regulates BCL6-induced transcriptional repression (PubMed:15567177). Binds to E2F1 and MYC and blocks their transcriptional activator activity but has no effect on MYC transcriptional repression (By similarity). Binds to TOP1/TOPOI and stimulates its activity (By similarity). This complex binds to rRNA gene promoters and may play a role in rRNA transcription and/or maturation (By similarity). Interacts with NPM1/B23 and promotes its polyubiquitination and degradation, thus inhibiting rRNA processing (By similarity). Plays a role in inhibiting ribosome biogenesis, perhaps by binding to the nucleolar localization sequence of transcription termination factor TTF1, and thereby preventing nucleolar localization of TTF1 (PubMed:20513429). Interacts with COMMD1 and promotes its 'Lys63'-linked polyubiquitination (By similarity). Interacts with UBE2I/UBC9 and enhances sumoylation of a number of its binding partners including MDM2 and E2F1 (By similarity). Binds to HUWE1 and represses its ubiquitin ligase activity (By similarity). May play a role in controlling cell proliferation and apoptosis during mammary gland development (By similarity).
