High impact information on SUPT3H

  • The defect in HO expression caused by a mutant SWI/SNF with a Swi2(E834K) substitution can be partially suppressed by ash1 or spt3 mutation or by a gain-of-function V71E substitution in the TATA-binding protein (TBP) [1].
  • Amino acid sequence comparisons between human SPT3 (hSPT3) and its counterparts in different yeast species reveal three highly conserved domains, with the most conserved 92-amino acid N-terminal domain being 25% identical with human TAFII18 [2].
  • Spt3 is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factor that is required in vivo for the transcription of a number of RNA polymerase II-transcribed genes [3].
  • The two gene structures are therefore "interlocked". In the human genome, SUPT3H is instead interlocked with RUNX2 [4].
