PAF1

Gene
Paf1
Protein
RNA polymerase II-associated factor 1 homolog
Organism
Mus musculus
Length
535 amino acids
Function
Component of the PAF1 complex (PAF1C) which has multiple functions during transcription by RNA polymerase II and is implicated in regulation of development and maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency. PAF1C associates with RNA polymerase II through interaction with POLR2A CTD non-phosphorylated and 'Ser-2'- and 'Ser-5'-phosphorylated forms and is involved in transcriptional elongation, acting both indepentently and synergistically with TCEA1 and in cooperation with the DSIF complex and HTATSF1. PAF1C is required for transcription of Hox and Wnt target genes. PAF1C is involved in hematopoiesis and stimulates transcriptional activity of KMT2A/MLL1. PAF1C is involved in histone modifications such as ubiquitination of histone H2B and methylation on histone H3 'Lys-4' (H3K4me3). PAF1C recruits the RNF20/40 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex and the E2 enzyme UBE2A or UBE2B to chromatin which mediate monoubiquitination of 'Lys-120' of histone H2B (H2BK120ub1); UB2A/B-mediated H2B ubiquitination is proposed to be coupled to transcription. PAF1C is involved in mRNA 3' end formation probably through association with cleavage and poly(A) factors. Connects PAF1C with the RNF20/40 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. Involved in polyadenylation of mRNA precursors (By similarity).

Length

Function
The PAF1 complex is a multifunctional complex. Involved in transcription initiation via genetic interactions with TATA-binding proteins. Involved in elongation. It regulates 3'-end formation of snR47 by modulating the recruitment or stable association of NRD1 and NAB3 with RNA polymerase II. Also has a role in transcription-coupled histone modification. Required for activation of the RAD6/UBC2-BRE1 ubiquitin ligase complex, which ubiquitinates histone H2B to form H2BK123ub1. Also required for the methylation of histone H3 by the COMPASS complex to form H3K4me, by SET2 to form H3K36me, and by DOT1 to form H3K79me. RNA polymerase II associated protein important for transcription of a subset of genes. Required for both positive and negative regulation. Negatively regulates MAK16 expression. Also required for efficient CLN2 transcription in late G1 and may be involved in transcription of galactose-inducible genes.
