Gene nameAFF4
Protein nameAF4/FMR2 family member 4 (ALL1-fused gene from chromosome 5q31 protein) (Protein AF-5q31) (Major CDK9 elongation factor-associated protein)
ALF transcription elongation factor 4
Alternative protein AFF4
AFF4 protein
SynonymsMCEF
HSPC092
AF5Q31
DescriptionFUNCTION: Key component of the super elongation complex (SEC), a complex required to increase the catalytic rate of RNA polymerase II transcription by suppressing transient pausing by the polymerase at multiple sites along the DNA. In the SEC complex, AFF4 acts as a central scaffold that recruits other factors through direct interactions with ELL proteins (ELL, ELL2 or ELL3) and the P-TEFb complex. In case of infection by HIV-1 virus, the SEC complex is recruited by the viral Tat protein to stimulate viral gene expression. .
