High impact information on RTF1

  • We identified NAB3 as a dosage suppressor of rtf1 [1].
  • To elucidate the functions of this complex, we isolated missense mutations in the gene encoding the Rtf1 subunit and used them to identify functionally interacting proteins [1].
  • Finally, we demonstrate that Chd1, Rtf1 and Spt5 associate with actively transcribed regions of chromatin [2].
  • Using RNAi, we examined the role of Rtf1 in histone methylation and gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster [3].
  • Furthermore, we show that RNAi-mediated reduction of dRtf1 results in a reduction in histone H3K4 trimethylation levels on bulk histones and chromosomes in vivo, indicating that the histone modification pathway via Rtf1 is conserved among yeast, Drosophila, and human [3].
 

Biological context of RTF1

 

Associations of RTF1 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of RTF1

  • To uncover additional factors that regulate chromatin or transcription, we performed a genetic screen for mutations that cause lethality in the absence of the Paf1 complex component Rtf1 [7].
  • Taken together, our findings suggest that Rtf1 either directly or indirectly regulates the DNA binding properties of TBP and, consequently, the relative activities of different TATA elements in vivo [8].
 

Regulatory relationships of RTF1

  • Together, our results indicate that Rtf1 influences transcription and chromatin structure through several independent functional domains and that Rtf1 may function independently of its association with other members of the Paf1 complex [9].
