| UniProt functional annotation for P07273 | |||
| UniProt code: P07273. |
| Organism: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. | |
| Function: | Necessary for efficient RNA polymerase II transcription elongation past template-encoded arresting sites. The arresting sites in DNA have the property of trapping a certain fraction of elongating RNA polymerases that pass through, resulting in locked ternary complexes. Cleavage of the nascent transcript by S-II allows the resumption of elongation from the new 3'-terminus. | |
| Function: | Can promote the transfer of one strand of a double-stranded DNA molecule to a homologous single strand and thus may be involved in recombination. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus. | |
| Miscellaneous: | S-II binds to RNA-polymerase II in the absence of transcription. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Present with 6260 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the TFS-II family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
