Summary: Enables histone binding activity; nucleosome binding activity; and transcription antitermination factor activity, DNA binding. Involved in several processes, including nucleosome organization; poly(A)+ mRNA export from nucleus; and regulation of RNA metabolic process. Located in nucleus and transcriptionally active chromatin. Orthologous to human SUPT6H (SPT6 homolog, histone chaperone and transcription elongation factor).
