CATEGORY

unknown/unspecified

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus,nucleoplasm

basic FUNCTION	having histone acetyltransferase activity with specificity to histone H3 and, to a much lesser extent, to histone H4 (Kim 2002)
	ELP4, ELP5, and ELP6--are required for histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity, and Elongator binds to both naked and nucleosomal DNA
	involved in transcription and tRNA modification (Strug 2009)
	ELP1, ELP2, ELP3, ELP4, ELP5, ELP6 plays vital roles in gene regulation

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	component of the elongator complex, involved in cell cycle (Gu 2009)
	core Elongator complex formed by IKBKAP, ELP2, and ELP3 was rather stable, whereas ELP4, ELP5, and ELP6 might loosely contact and work together with the core Elongator to regulate cell functions

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	ELP6 acts as a bridge to assemble ELP4 and ELP5 6)
	ELP5 is required for the integrity of Elongator and directly connects ELP3 to ELP4
