Article Draft[edit]

Together DSIF and NELF can stall transcription right after initiation by stopping Pol II elongation. P-TEFb can phosphorylate DSIF, NELF, and Pol II to resume transcription. Once phosphorylated NELF falls away while DSIF stimulates elongation.[1]

DSIF (DRB Sensitivity Inducing Factor) is a protein complex that can either negatively or positively affect transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II).[2] It can interact with the negative elongation factor (NELF) to promote the stalling of Pol II which is called promoter proximal pausing.[3] The pause occurs soon after initiation, once 20-60 nucleotides have been transcribed.[3] This stalling is relieved by positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) and Pol II enters productive elongation to resume synthesis till finish.[1] In humans, DSIF is composed of hSPT4 and hSPT5.[2] hSPT5 has a direct role in mRNA capping which occurs while the elongation is paused.[4]

SPT5 is preserved in humans to bacteria.[5] SPT4 and SPT5 in yeast are the homologs of hSPT4 and hSPT5.[2] In bacteria, the homologous complex only contains NusG, a Spt5 homolog.[6] Archaea have both proteins.[7]

DSIF plays the same role for HIV-1 gene expression as it would normally in transcription.[8][9] This is because P-TEFb phosphorylates DSIF the same regardless of whether or not P-TEFb goes through normal cellular regulation or bypasses it due to Tat. [10]
