Transcription termination factor 1a, mitochondrial (Mterf1a)

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 comprises a tridecamer sequence critical for directing accurate termination.

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