Macromolecular complex annotations are imported from the Complex Portal. These annotations have been derived from physical molecular interaction evidence extracted from the literature and cross-referenced in the entry, or by curator inference from information on homologs in closely related species or by inference from scientific background.
Phenotype
Phenotype annotations for a gene are curated single mutant phenotypes that require an observable (e.g., "cell shape"), a qualifier (e.g., "abnormal"), a mutant type (e.g., null), strain background, and a reference. In addition, annotations are classified as classical genetics or high-throughput (e.g., large scale survey, systematic mutation set). Whenever possible, allele information and additional details are provided.

- Summary
- RTF1 encodes a component of the Polymerase-Associated Factor 1 (Paf1) complex (Paf1C). Other members of Paf1C include Cdc73p, Ctr9p, Leo1p, and Paf1p. Paf1C is highly conserved throughout eukaryotes and participates in multiple aspects of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcriptional regulation. Paf1c promotes RNAPII transcription elongation and transcription-coupled histone modifications, thereby affecting various cellular processes such as gene expression, silencing, RNA maturation, DNA repair, and cell cycle progression. Within Paf1C, Rtf1p plays a key role in recruiting the complex to chromatin. Important for recruitment is its central Plus3 domain, also termed the ORF Association Region (OAR). Rtf1p also contains in its N-terminus a recruitment domain for the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factor Chd1p and a histone modification domain. Its C-terminus contains an interaction domain required for the association of Rtf1p with other Paf1C subunits. Rtf1p is primarily responsible for the monoubiquitylation of histone H2B K123 by enhancing recruitment of the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Rad6p and the ubiquitin protein ligase Bre1p to chromatin. Paf1C thereby influences gene expression by promoting histone H2BK123 ubiquitylation and subsequent methylation at histone H3K4 and K79 by the Set1p and Dot1p methyltransferases, respectively. Paf1C associates with RNAPII and influences the phosphorylation state of the RNAPII CTD. Paf1C promotes histone H3K36 trimethylation and affects histone acetylation levels. Paf1C functions cooperatively with other factors influencing chromatin structure, such as the elongation complex Spt4p-Spt5p, and the histone chaperone FACT. Paf1C also coordinates transcription elongation with transcription termination and RNA 3'-end processing.
Expression
Expression data are derived from records contained in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and are first log2 transformed and normalized. Referenced datasets may contain one or more condition(s), and as a result there may be a greater number of conditions than datasets represented in a single clickable histogram bar. The histogram division at 0.0 separates the down-regulated (green) conditions and datasets from those that are up-regulated (red).
