Inhibition of CDK7, CDK9 or CDK12 affects phosphorylation of human SPT5.
SPT5, complexed with SPT4 in the DRB-sensitivity-inducing factor, DSIF, is a critical regulator of transcription elongation that acts negatively in the unphosphorylated form and positively when phosphorylated. In vivo, phosphorylation of multiple sites in the largely unstructured linker and C-terminal regions of the protein facilitates release from an early elongation checkpoint and processive…
