Summary: Enables chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; endodermal cell fate commitment; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Part of Cdc73/Paf1 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human PAF1 (PAF1 homolog, Paf1/RNA polymerase II complex component). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]

Title: The Paf1 complex positively regulates enhancer activity in mouse embryonic stem cells.
Study shows that the Paf1 complex (Paf1C) modulates Pol II elongation rate, and loss of Paf1 results in accumulation of Ser5P in the first 20 to 30 kb of gene bodies, coinciding with reduction of histone H2B ubiquitylation specifically within this region. Moreover, reduced elongation rates provoked by Paf1 depletion resulted in defects in Pol II processivity and premature termination of transcription.
Title: Paf1C regulates RNA polymerase II progression by modulating elongation rate.
ENL overcomes polycomb silencing through recruitment of PAF1 via the conserved YEATS domain, which recognizes acetylated histone H3.
Title: The interaction of ENL with PAF1 mitigates polycomb silencing and facilitates murine leukemogenesis.

The PAF1 complex is required for mammalian development, likely through regulation of H3K36me3, indicating a functional conservation of the PAF1 complex from yeast to mammals in vivo.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
