Summary: Predicted to enable histone binding activity and nucleosome binding activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of mRNA export from nucleus; regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process; and transcription elongation-coupled chromatin remodeling. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst formation. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of transcription elongation factor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; retina; and spleen. Orthologous to human SUPT6H (SPT6 homolog, histone chaperone and transcription elongation factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Iws1 and Spt6 Regulate Trimethylation of Histone H3 on Lysine 36 through Akt Signaling and are Essential for Mouse Embryonic Genome Activation.
Title: Iws1 and Spt6 Regulate Trimethylation of Histone H3 on Lysine 36 through Akt Signaling and are Essential for Mouse Embryonic Genome Activation.
SPT6 facilitates IFN-induced transcription, highlighting its critical role in gene activation.
Title: SPT6 interacts with NSD2 and facilitates interferon-induced transcription.
Iws1 is expressed in all adult organs and it is an essential gene for mouse embryonic development.
Title: Genetic ablation of interacting with Spt6 (Iws1) causes early embryonic lethality.
Biochemical as well as functional experiments revealed that Spt6 could compete for binding of the PRC2 methyltransferase Ezh2 to Suz12 and reduce PRC2 chromatin engagement.
Title: The Elongation Factor Spt6 Maintains ESC Pluripotency by Controlling Super-Enhancers and Counteracting Polycomb Proteins.
These data indicate that, through cooperation with PolII and KDM6A, Spt6 orchestrates removal of H3K27me3, thus controlling developmental gene expression and cell differentiation.
Title: The histone chaperone Spt6 coordinates histone H3K27 demethylation and myogenesis.
Knockdown of Spt6 resulted in severe reduction of class switch recombination in the endogenous Ig locus in B cells.
Title: Histone chaperone Spt6 is required for class switch recombination but not somatic hypermutation.
recombinant Spt6 binds selectively to a stretch of uninterrupted consensus repeats located in the N-terminal half of the CTD and recruits Iws1
Title: The Iws1:Spt6:CTD complex controls cotranscriptional mRNA biosynthesis and HYPB/Setd2-mediated histone H3K36 methylation.
Thus binding of Spt6 to Ser2-P RNAPII provides a cotranscriptional mechanism to recruit Iws1, REF1/Aly, and associated mRNA processing, surveillance, and export factors to responsive genes.
Title: The Spt6 SH2 domain binds Ser2-P RNAPII to direct Iws1-dependent mRNA splicing and export.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
