Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n ELOF1 is an evolutionarily conserved transcription elongation factor that plays a critical role in safeguarding transcription under stress conditions. In response to DNA damage, ELOF1 promotes the transcription‐stress response by facilitating transcription‐coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER). It does so by enhancing the recruitment of repair factors such as UVSSA and TFIIH, thereby ensuring that transcription‐blocking lesions are rapidly repaired and that transcription can resume, ultimately protecting genome stability."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " In the mammalian context, loss‐of‐function studies have revealed that ELOF1 is indispensable during early development; its absence leads to developmental delay, morphological defects during gastrulation, and lethality. Mechanistically, beyond promoting RNA polymerase II elongation, ELOF1 also regulates alternative splicing by influencing mutually exclusive exon usage, suggesting that its function as a transcriptional regulator has been uniquely adapted in higher eukaryotes."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " Moreover, large‐scale genetic screens have further implicated ELOF1 as a modulator of the cellular response to transcription‐blocking agents, underscoring its multifaceted role in the DNA damage response."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " \n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Marit E Geijer, Di Zhou, Kathiresan Selvam, et al.
