Name | AFF4 |
---|---|
Synonyms | AF5Q31, MCEF |
Function | Key component of the super elongation complex (SEC), a complex required to increase the catalytic rate of RNA polymerase II transcription by suppressing transient pausing by the polymerase at multiple sites along the DNA. In the SEC complex, AFF4 acts as a central scaffold that recruits other factors through direct interactions with ELL proteins (ELL, ELL2 or ELL3) and the P-TEFb complex. In case of infection by HIV-1 virus, the SEC complex is recruited by the viral Tat protein to stimulate viral gene expression. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. Note=Associates to transcriptionally active chromatin but not at snRNA genes. |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitously expressed. Strongly expressed in heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, pancreas and to a lower extent in brain. |

Background
The AFF4 gene encodes a scaffold protein that functions as a core component of the super elongation complex (SEC), which is involved in transcriptional regulation during embryogenesis. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the AF4 family of transcription factors involved in leukemia. It is a component of the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) complex. This gene is mapped to chromosome 5q31.
