Transcription factor, corepressor with FHL1 of ribosomal protein genes. May be involved in the blocking of the spread of silencing. Interacts with FHL1 to form a repressor complex. The formation of the CRF1-FHL1 complex is inhibited by the TOR pathway. The nuclear location is negatively regulated by the TOR pathway. Phosphorylated by CDC28 and YAK1.
