UniProtKB description:  DNA-binding protein involved in innate immune response and has anti-inflammatory activity (PubMed:19131592, PubMed:23850291, PubMed:23567559). Inhibits caspase activation in response to cytosolic DNA by preventing activation of the AIM2 inflammasome, probably by sequestering cytoplasmic DNA and preventing its being bound by AIM2 (PubMed:19131592, PubMed:23850291, PubMed:23567559). Also inhibits activation of the AIM2 inflammasome via a direct interaction with AIM2, which prevents the interaction between AIM2 and PYCARD and formation of the AIM2 inflammasome (PubMed:23850291). Binds double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the cytosol (PubMed:19131592, PubMed:23850291, PubMed:23567559, PubMed:24419611). Has anti-apoptotic effects due to inhibition of the transcriptional activity of TP53/p53 (PubMed:16670293). Inhibits the transcriptional activity of several transcription factors, including NF-kappa-B p50 and p65, FOS, JUN, E2F1, E2F4, MYOD1 and myogenin (PubMed:8524315).
