Transcription termination factor 1, mitochondrial (MTERF1)

Transcription termination factor. Binds to a 28 bp region within the tRNA(Leu(uur)) gene at a position immediately adjacent to and downstream of the 16S rRNA gene; this region includes a tridecamer sequence critical for directing true conclusion.

Binds DNA along the significant grove and promotes DNA bending and partial unwinding. Promotes base flipping.
