Function
Chromatin reader component of the super elongation complex (SEC), a complex required to increase the catalytic rate of RNA polymerase II transcription by suppressing transient pausing by the polymerase at multiple sites along the DNA. Specifically recognizes and binds acylated histone H3, with a preference for histone H3 that is crotonylated. Crotonylation marks active promoters and enhancers and confers resistance to transcriptional repressors.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Nucleus; Chromosome
Tissue Specificity: Enriched in undifferentiated hematopoietic stem cells in fetal liver, cord blood and bone marrow
Disease Association: [A chromosomal aberration involving MLLT3 is associated with acute leukemias. Translocation t(9;11)(p22;q23) with KMT2A/MLL1. The result is a rogue activator protein.
