Negative elongation factor E

UniProtKB accession:  P18615

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Essential component of the NELF complex, a complex that negatively regulates the elongation of transcription by RNA polymerase II (PubMed:10199401, PubMed:27256882). The NELF complex, which acts via an association with the DSIF complex and causes transcriptional pausing, is counteracted by the P-TEFb kinase complex (PubMed:11940650, PubMed:12612062, PubMed:27256882). Provides the strongest RNA binding activity of the NELF complex and may initially recruit the NELF complex to RNA (PubMed:18303858, PubMed:27282391, PubMed:27256882).
