Contains an archaeal histone-like fold (CBF_NFY). but at best would have low sequence specificity. Known role in centromere assembly and lack of known sequence specificity suggest that it is unlikely to be a sequence specific TF.

centromere protein T [Source:HGNC Symbol;Acc:HGNC:25787]
Entrez Summary
The centromere is a specialized chromatin domain, present
throughout the cell cycle, that acts as a platform on which the transient
assembly of the kinetochore occurs during mitosis. All active centromeres are
characterized by the presence of long arrays of nucleosomes in which CENPA
(MIM 117139) replaces histone H3 (see MIM 601128). CENPT is an additional
factor required for centromere assembly (Foltz et al., 2006 [PubMed
16622419]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
Vaquerizas 2009 TF classification
"a" Has direct evidence of TF function;
"b" Has evidence for an orthologous TF;
"c" contains likely DBDs, but has no functional evidence;
"x" is an unlikely TF such as predicted gene, genes with likely non-specific DBDs or that have function outside transcription;
"other" category contains proteins without clear DBDs they curated from external sources.
c
CisBP considers it as a TF?
No
TFclass considers it as a TF?
No
Has GO:0003700 "transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding"
No
GO-Info
Initial Assessment 1a1 Protein has a high confidence PWM (HT-SELEX, PBM or B1H model) or there is a crystal structure that supports sequence specific DNA binding;
1a2 There is high confidence data for a close ortholog (as defined in CisBP);
2a1 There is lower confidence direct evidence, such as a Jaspar, Hocomoco or Transfac model;
2a2 There is lower confidence evidence for an close ortholog;
3a There is decent circumstantial evidence for its role as a TF or not;
4a Two or more datasets predict it as a TF;
5a One of the source datasets predicts is as a TF
5a, one of the source datasets predicts is as a TF
