FUNCTION: Crucial silencing factor contributing to the initiation of X inactivation mediated by Xist RNA that occurs during embryogenesis and in lymphoma (By similarity). Binds to DNA at special AT-rich sequences, the consensus SATB1-binding sequence (CSBS), at nuclear matrix- or scaffold-associated regions. Thought to recognize the sugar-phosphate structure of double-stranded DNA. Transcriptional repressor controlling nuclear and viral gene expression in a phosphorylated and acetylated status-dependent manner, by binding to matrix attachment regions (MARs) of DNA and inducing a local chromatin-loop remodeling. Acts as a docking site for several chromatin remodeling enzymes (e.g. PML at the MHC-I locus) and also by recruiting corepressors (HDACs) or coactivators (HATs) directly to promoters and enhancers. Modulates genes that are essential in the maturation of the immune T-cell CD8SP from thymocytes. Required for the switching of fetal globin species, and beta- and gamma-globin genes regulation during erythroid differentiation. Plays a role in chromatin organization and nuclear architecture during apoptosis. Interacts with the unique region (UR) of cytomegalovirus (CMV). Alu-like motifs and SATB1-binding sites provide a unique chromatin context which seems preferentially targeted by the HIV-1 integration machinery. Moreover, HIV-1 Tat may overcome SATB1-mediated repression of IL2 and IL2RA (interleukin) in T-cells by binding to the same domain than HDAC1. Delineates specific epigenetic modifications at target gene loci, directly up-regulating metastasis-associated genes while down-regulating tumor-suppressor genes. Reprograms chromatin organization and the transcription profiles of breast tumors to promote growth and metastasis. Promotes neuronal differentiation of neural stem/progenitor cells in the adult subventricular zone, possibly by positively regulating the expression of NEUROD1 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q60611, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10595394, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11463840, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12374985, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12692553, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1505028, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15618465, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15713622, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16377216, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16630892, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17173041, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17376900, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18337816, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19103759, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19247486, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19332023, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19430959, ECO:0000269|PubMed:33513338, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9111059, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9548713}.
