It's a well-known fact that supermassive black holes (SMBH) play a vital role in the evolution of galaxies.

Their powerful gravity and the way it accelerates matter in its vicinity causes so much radiation to be released from the core region — aka. an active galactic nucleus (AGN) — that it will periodically outshine all the stars in the disk combined.
