| Type: | Domain | Name: | Spt5 transcription elongation factor, N-terminal |
| Description: | This is the very acidic N-terminal domain of the early transcription elongation factor Spt5 []. The Spt5-Spt4 complex regulates early transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II and has an imputed role in pre-mRNA processing via its physical association with mRNA capping enzymes. The actual function of this N-terminal domain is not known although it is dispensable for binding to Spt4 [], nor is it essential for RNA polymerase II binding []. | Short Name: | Spt5_N |
