Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1A (eEF1A) domain I from S. cerevisiae is required but not sufficient for inter-species complementation [PDF]
Ethanolamine phosphoglycerol (EPG) is a protein modification attached exclusively to eukaryotic elongation factor 1A (eEF1A). In mammals and plants, EPG is linked to conserved glutamate residues located in eEF1A domains II and III, whereas in the ...

Transcriptional control: Tat cofactors and transcriptional elongation [PDF]
HIV-1 gene expression requires the transactivator Tat, which stimulates viral transcript elongation. Recent results show that two cellular cyclin-dependent kinases, which phosphorylate the carboxy-terminal domain of the RNA polymerase II large subunit ...

Coupling of Transcription and Translation in Archaea: Cues From the Bacterial World
The lack of a nucleus is the defining cellular feature of bacteria and archaea. Consequently, transcription and translation are occurring in the same compartment, proceed simultaneously and likely in a coupled fashion.

Pol II phosphorylation regulates a switch between transcriptional and splicing condensates
The synthesis of pre-mRNA by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) involves the formation of a transcription initiation complex, and a transition to an elongation complex1–4. The large subunit of Pol II contains an intrinsically disordered C-terminal domain that is

The RNA Polymerase II-associated factor 1 complex represses small-RNA-mediated heterochromatin formation and gene silencing [PDF]
RNAi interference (RNAi) is a highly conserved regulatory mechanism employed by almost all Eukaryotes. With RNAi organisms can modulate the expression of endogenous genes and protect the integrity and identity of their genomes.

The transition from transcription initiation into elongation is controlled by transcription factors, which recruit positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) to promoters to phosphorylate RNA polymerase II.

Summary: CDK7 regulates RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) initiation, elongation, and termination through incompletely understood mechanisms. Because contaminating kinases prevent reliable CDK7 analysis with nuclear extracts, we reconstitute RNAPII ...

O-GlcNAcase Is an RNA Polymerase II Elongation Factor Coupled to Pausing Factors SPT5 and TIF1β*
We describe here the identification and functional characterization of the enzyme O-GlcNAcase (OGA) as an RNA polymerase II elongation factor. Using in vitro transcription elongation assays, we show that OGA activity is required for elongation in a crude

Transcription Elongation Factors in Health and Disease
Gene expression is a complex process that establishes and maintains a specific cell state. Transcription, an early event during the gene expression, is fine-tuned by a concerted action of a plethora of transcription factors temporally and spatially in response to various stimuli.
