Summary
ELL (elongation factor for RNA polymerase II, HGNC:23114) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.11, encoding RNA polymerase II elongation factor ELL (P55199). Elongation factor component of the super elongation complex (SEC), a complex required to increase the catalytic rate of RNA polymerase II transcription by suppressing transient pausing by the polymerase at multiple sites along the DNA. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 94.0% of cancer cell lines).
Enables phosphatase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription and snRNA transcription. Located in cytosol; euchromatin; and nuclear body. Part of transcription elongation factor complex.

All UniProt accessions (3): P55199, U3KQ90, U3KQA3
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Elongation factor component of the super elongation complex (SEC), a complex required to increase the catalytic rate of RNA polymerase II transcription by suppressing transient pausing by the polymerase at multiple sites along the DNA. Elongation factor component of the little elongation complex (LEC), a complex required to regulate small nuclear RNA (snRNA) gene transcription by RNA polymerase II and III. Specifically required for stimulating the elongation step of RNA polymerase II- and III-dependent snRNA gene transcription. ELL also plays an early role before its assembly into in the SEC complex by stabilizing RNA polymerase II recruitment/initiation and entry into the pause site. Required to stabilize the pre-initiation complex and early elongation.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the super elongation complex (SEC), at least composed of EAF1, EAF2, CDK9, MLLT3/AF9, AFF (AFF1 or AFF4), the P-TEFb complex and ELL (ELL, ELL2 or ELL3). Component of the little elongation complex (LEC), at least composed of ELL (ELL, ELL2 or ELL3), ZC3H8, ICE1 and ICE2. Interacts with AFF4; the interaction is direct. Interacts with EAF1 and EAF2. Interacts with ICE1 (via N-terminus domain). Interacts with ICE2. Interacts with USPL1.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Nucleus speckle. Cajal body.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in all tissues tested. Highest levels found in placenta, skeletal muscle, testis and peripheral blood leukocytes.
Disease relevance. A chromosomal aberration involving ELL is found in acute leukemias. Translocation t(11;19)(q23;p13.1) with KMT2A/MLL1. The result is a rogue activator protein.
Similarity. Belongs to the ELL/occludin family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 80 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
