UniProt functional annotation for Q7RTV0



	UniProt functional annotation for Q7RTV0

UniProt code: Q7RTV0.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).

Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.

Function: Involved with the PAF1 complex (PAF1C) in transcriptional elongation by RNA polymerase II, and in regulation of development and maintenance of embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency. Required for maintenance of ESCs self-renewal and cellular reprogramming of stem cells. Maintains pluripotency by recruiting and stabilizing PAF1C on pluripotency genes loci, and by regulating the expression of the pluripotency genes. Regulates the deposition of elongation-associated histone modifications, including dimethylated histone H3 'Lys-79' (H3K79me2) and trimethylated histone H3 'Lys-36' (H3K36me3), on PAF1C targets, self-renewal and pluripotency genes. Regulates RNA polymerase II promoter-proximal pause release of the PAF1C targets and self- renewal genes, and the levels of elongating ('Ser-2' phosphorylated) RNA polymerase II in their gene bodies. Regulates muscle specification in adult stem cells by stabilizing PAF1C in chromatin to promote myogenic differentiation (By similarity). Involved in pre-mRNA splicing as a component of the splicing factor SF3B complex (PubMed:27720643, PubMed:28541300). SF3B complex is required for 'A' complex assembly formed by the stable binding of U2 snRNP to the branchpoint sequence (BPS) in pre-mRNA. Sequence independent binding of SF3A/SF3B complex upstream of the branch site is essential, it may anchor U2 snRNP to the pre-mRNA (PubMed:12234937). Acts as a transcriptional regulator by binding to the GJA1/Cx43 promoter and enhancing its up-regulation by ESR1/ER-alpha (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P83870, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P83871, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12234937, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27720643, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28541300}.

Subunit: Interacts (via N-terminus) with U2AF1 and SRSF5; acts to bridge the two. Interacts (via C-terminus) with EP400 and DDX1; acts to bridge the two (By similarity). Component of splicing factor SF3B complex which is composed of at least eight subunits; SF3B1, SF3B2, SF3B3, SF3B4, SF3B5, SF3B6, PHF5A and DDX42 (PubMed:12234937, PubMed:12738865, PubMed:27720643, PubMed:28541300). Within the SF3B complex interacts directly with SF3B1 and SF3B3 (PubMed:27720643). The SF3B complex composed of SF3B1, SF3B2, SF3B3, SF3B4, SF3B5, SF3B6 and PHF5A interacts with U2AF2 (PubMed:27720643). SF3B associates with the splicing factor SF3A and a 12S RNA unit to form the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins complex (U2 snRNP) (PubMed:12234937). Component of the U11/U12 snRNPs that are part of the U12-type spliceosome (PubMed:15146077). Interacts with the PAF1 complex (PAF1C) composed of CDC73, PAF1, LEO1, CTR9, RTF1 and WDR61. Within the PAF1C interacts directly with CDC73 and WDR61. Interacts with RNA polymerase II (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P83870, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12234937, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12738865, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15146077, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27720643, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28541300}.

Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27720643, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28541300}. Nucleus speckle {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P83870}.

Similarity: Belongs to the PHF5 family. {ECO:0000305}.
