Summary: This gene encodes the protein elongin C, which is a subunit of the transcription factor B (SIII) complex. The SIII complex is composed of elongins A/A2, B and C. It activates elongation by RNA polymerase II by suppressing transient pausing of the polymerase at many sites within transcription units. Elongin A functions as the transcriptionally active component of the SIII complex, whereas elongins B and C are regulatory subunits. Elongin A2 is specifically expressed in the testis, and capable of forming a stable complex with elongins B and C. The von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein binds to elongins B and C, and thereby inhibits transcription elongation. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding two distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 15.6), brain (RPKM 14.4) and 25 other tissues See more

	vif	Mutagenesis analysis indicates that HIV-1 Vif residues T123, R127, L145, and A149 and ELOC residues A100, L101, and L104 are involved in the interaction between Vif and ELOC	PubMed
	vif	Simultaneous substitution of the three Vif-interacting residues L52, W53, and D55 and the two ELOC-interacting residues P41 and H48 in CUL5 impairs the ability of CUL5 to interact with the Vif-CBF-beta-ELOB-ELOC protein complex	PubMed
	vif	The absence of Vif-CBF-beta reduces the interaction between the CUL5 and the EloC-EloB complex, indicating that the former two proteins have a critical role in promoting assembly of the pentameric complex	PubMed
	vif	Amino acid residues Vif135-158 have the most binding to the Elongin BC complex and undergo a structural change in the presence of Elongin BC	PubMed
	vif	The solubility of HIV-1 Vif is significantly enhanced by co-expression of EloB, EloC, and CBF-beta in vitro	PubMed
	vif	The substitution of Leu64 or Ile66 with serine abolishes the ability of CBF-beta to interact with the Vif-EloB/EloC complex, while the substitution of Thr68 or Tyr69 with alanine has an intermediate effect on the interaction of CBF-beta with the complex	PubMed
	vif	The interaction of HIV-1 Vif with EloB/EloC complex is important for the binding of Vif to CBF-beta in cells. The Vif SOCS box mutant (SLQ to AAA) significantly disrupt its interaction with the EloB/EloC complex	PubMed
	vif	A potent small molecular compound VEC-5 protects APOBEC3G, APOBEC3F, and APOBEC3C from HIV-1 Vif-induced degradation and enhances A3G incorporation into HIV-1 virions by inhibiting the interaction between Vif and elongin C	PubMed

	vif	HIV-1 Vif binding to ElonginC is negatively regulated by serine phosphorylation in the BC-box of the Vif SOCS-box motif, and mutating amino acid S144 in Vif prevents phosphorylation at this site, significantly impairing Vif function and viral replication	PubMed

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.
