20250201IID00817Transcription elongation factor SPT4DRB sensitivity-inducing factor 14 kDa subunitDRB sensitivity-inducing factor small subunitHomo sapiens117P63272B2R4X8D3DTZ4Q16550Q62387Q6ZP89Component of the DRB sensitivity-inducing factor complex (DSIF complex), which regulates mRNA processing and transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II. DSIF positively regulates mRNA capping by stimulating the mRNA guanylyltransferase activity of RNGTT/CAP1A. DSIF also acts cooperatively with the negative elongation factor complex (NELF complex) to enhance transcriptional pausing at sites proximal to the promoter. Transcriptional pausing may facilitate the assembly of an elongation competent RNA polymerase II complex. DSIF and NELF promote pausing by inhibition of the transcription elongation factor TFIIS/S-II. TFIIS/S-II binds to RNA polymerase II at transcription pause sites and stimulates the weak intrinsic nuclease activity of the enzyme. Cleavage of blocked transcripts by RNA polymerase II promotes the resumption of transcription from the new 3' terminus and may allow repeated attempts at transcription through natural pause sites. DSIF can also positively regulate transcriptional elongation and is required for the efficient activation of transcriptional elongation by the HIV-1 nuclear transcriptional activator, Tat. DSIF acts to suppress transcriptional pausing in transcripts derived from the HIV-1 LTR and blocks premature release of HIV-1 transcripts at terminator sequences.Chromosome.SL-0468unkownNucleus.SL-0191unkown00N-acetylalanine22SUPT4H1Transcription elongation factor MALETVPKDLRHLRACLLCSLVKTIDQFEYDGCDNCDAYLQMKGNREMVYDCTSSSFDGIIAMMSPEDSWVSKWQRVSNFKPGVYAVSVTGRLPQGIVRELKSRGVAYKSRDTAIKT13h7hA2117order113h7hX-RAY290K719860741S.WENZEL,B.M.MARTINS,P.ROSCH,B.M.WOHRLCRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN TRANSCRIPTION ELONGATION FACTOR DSIF HSPT4 SUBUNIT IN COMPLEX WITH THE HSPT5 DIMERIZATION INTERFACE2010BIOCHEM.J.425373x-ray3h7hA2117100013h7h_13097Hetero dimer3h7hAP63272IID008173h7hBO00267IID006413h7hA-3h7hB2-1171-17-1111-6,112-1171-6,112-117
