Background
This gene encodes a member of the transcription elongation factor A (SII)-like (TCEAL) gene family. Members of this family may function as nuclear phosphoproteins that modulate transcription in a promoter context-dependent manner. The encoded protein is similar to transcription elongation factor A/transcription factor SII and contains a zinc finger-like motif as well as a sequence related to the transcription factor SII Pol II-binding region. It may exert its effects via protein-protein interactions with other transcriptional regulators rather than via direct binding of DNA. Multiple family members are located on the X chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding a single isoform. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:May be involved in transcriptional regulation. Modulates various viral and cellular promoters in a promoter context-dependent manner. For example, transcription from the FOS promoter is increased, while Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter activity is repressed. Does not bind DNA directly.,PTM:Phosphorylation of Ser-36 and Ser-37 is critical for transcriptional repression.,similarity:Belongs to the TFS-II family. TFA subfamily.,tissue specificity:Expressed in all tissues examined. Highly expressed in heart, ovary, prostate and skeletal muscle. Moderately expressed in brain, placenta, testis and small intestine. Weakly expressed in lung, liver and spleen. Expressed in several cancer cell lines.,
