Q9ULX6

Main function of 5'-partner protein: FUNCTION: Could play a role in constitutive transport element (CTE)-mediated gene expression by association with DHX9. Increases CTE-dependent nuclear unspliced mRNA export (PubMed:10748171, PubMed:11402034). Proposed to target PRKACA to the nucleus but does not seem to be implicated in the binding of regulatory subunit II of PKA (PubMed:10761695, PubMed:11884601). May be involved in nuclear envelope breakdown and chromatin condensation. May be involved in anchoring nuclear membranes to chromatin in interphase and in releasing membranes from chromating at mitosis (PubMed:11034899). May regulate the initiation phase of DNA replication when associated with TMPO isoform Beta (PubMed:12538639). Required for cell cycle G2/M transition and histone deacetylation during mitosis. In mitotic cells recruits HDAC3 to the vicinity of chromatin leading to deacetylation and subsequent phosphorylation at 'Ser-10' of histone H3; in this function seems to act redundantly with AKAP8 (PubMed:16980585). May be involved in regulation of pre-mRNA splicing (PubMed:17594903). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10748171, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11034899, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11402034, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11884601, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12538639, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16980585, ECO:0000305|PubMed:10761695}.; FUNCTION: (Microbial infection) In case of EBV infection, may target PRKACA to EBNA-LP-containing nuclear sites to modulate transcription from specific promoters. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11884601}.; FUNCTION: (Microbial infection) Can synergize with DHX9 to activate the CTE-mediated gene expression of type D retroviruses. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11402034}.; FUNCTION: (Microbial infection) In case of HIV-1 infection, involved in the DHX9-promoted annealing of host tRNA(Lys3) to viral genomic RNA as a primer in reverse transcription; in vitro negatively regulates DHX9 annealing activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25034436}.

O60885

Main function of 5'-partner protein: FUNCTION: Chromatin reader protein that recognizes and binds acetylated histones and plays a key role in transmission of epigenetic memory across cell divisions and transcription regulation. Remains associated with acetylated chromatin throughout the entire cell cycle and provides epigenetic memory for postmitotic G1 gene transcription by preserving acetylated chromatin status and maintaining high-order chromatin structure (PubMed:23589332, PubMed:23317504, PubMed:22334664). During interphase, plays a key role in regulating the transcription of signal-inducible genes by associating with the P-TEFb complex and recruiting it to promoters. Also recruits P-TEFb complex to distal enhancers, so called anti-pause enhancers in collaboration with JMJD6. BRD4 and JMJD6 are required to form the transcriptionally active P-TEFb complex by displacing negative regulators such as HEXIM1 and 7SKsnRNA complex from P-TEFb, thereby transforming it into an active form that can then phosphorylate the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (PubMed:23589332, PubMed:19596240, PubMed:16109377, PubMed:16109376, PubMed:24360279). Promotes phosphorylation of 'Ser-2' of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (PubMed:23086925). According to a report, directly acts as an atypical protein kinase and mediates phosphorylation of 'Ser-2' of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II; these data however need additional evidences in vivo (PubMed:22509028). In addition to acetylated histones, also recognizes and binds acetylated RELA, leading to further recruitment of the P-TEFb complex and subsequent activation of NF-kappa-B (PubMed:19103749). Also acts as a regulator of p53/TP53-mediated transcription: following phosphorylation by CK2, recruited to p53/TP53 specific target promoters (PubMed:23317504). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16109376, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16109377, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19103749, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19596240, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22334664, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22509028, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23086925, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23317504, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23589332, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24360279}.; FUNCTION: [Isoform B]: Acts as a chromatin insulator in the DNA damage response pathway. Inhibits DNA damage response signaling by recruiting the condensin-2 complex to acetylated histones, leading to chromatin structure remodeling, insulating the region from DNA damage response by limiting spreading of histone H2AX/H2A.x phosphorylation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23728299}.
