SPOC (Spen paralog and ortholog C-terminal) domain found in the transcription factor S-II (TFIIS) family The transcription factor S-II (TFIIS) family includes SPOC domain-containing protein 1 (SPOCD1), yeast bypass of ESS1 protein 1 (Bye1p), PHD finger protein 3 (PHF3), and death-inducer obliterator (Dido) splicing variants, among others. They are characterized by having both a central RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-binding TFIIS-like domain (TLD) domain, and a C-terminal SPOC domain. This model corresponds to the SPOC domain that is involved in developmental signaling. SPOCD1 acts as a tumor-related factor that promotes cell proliferation and metastasis. Yeast Bye1p is a nuclear transcription factor with a domain resembling the central domain in transcription elongation factor TFIIS and plays an inhibitory role during transcription elongation. It functions as a multicopy suppressor of Ess1, a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase involved in proline isomerization of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (Pol II). PHF3 is a human homolog of the yeast protein Bye1p. It is ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues including brain, but its expression is significantly reduced or lost in glioblastomas. The Dido/DIDO1 gene is implicated in several cellular processes such as apoptosis and chromosomal segregation, particularly in the hematopoietic system. This model corresponds to the SPOC domain that is involved in developmental signaling and has also been proposed to be a phosphorylation binding module. |
