Summary

LEO1 (LEO1 component of Paf1/RNA polymerase II complex, HGNC:30401) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q21.2, encoding RNA polymerase-associated protein LEO1 (Q8WVC0). Component of the PAF1 complex (PAF1C) which has multiple functions during transcription by RNA polymerase II and is implicated in regulation of development and maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency.

LEO1, parafibromin (CDC73; MIM 607393), CTR9 (MIM 609366), and PAF1 (MIM 610506) form the PAF protein complex that associates with the RNA polymerase II subunit POLR2A (MIM 180660) and with a histone methyltransferase complex (Rozenblatt-Rosen et al., 2005 [PubMed 15632063]).

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 7)

  • Screened glioblastomas and oligodendrogliomas for fusion genes by identifying aberrant 5’-3’ expression of genes that lie over regions of a copy number change. A fusion gene between exon 11 of LEO1 and exon 10 of SLC12A1 was identified. (PMID:20196086)
  • The results show that the Paf1/Leo1 heterodimer is necessary for its binding to histone H3, the histone octamer, and nucleosome in vitro. (PMID:24038468)
  • PRL-3 and Leo1 levels were positively associated in AML patient samples. (PMID:24686170)
  • Here, we identified Leo1 as a direct and specific substrate of PRL-3. Serine-dephosphorylated form of Leo1 binds directly to beta-catenin, promoting the nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and transactivation of TCF/LEF downstream target genes such as cyclin D1 and c-myc (PMID:30305722)
  • LEO1 is a partner for Cockayne syndrome protein B (CSB) in response to transcription-blocking DNA damage. (PMID:34096589)

Function. Component of the PAF1 complex (PAF1C) which has multiple functions during transcription by RNA polymerase II and is implicated in regulation of development and maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency. PAF1C associates with RNA polymerase II through interaction with POLR2A CTD non-phosphorylated and ‘Ser-2’- and ‘Ser-5’-phosphorylated forms and is involved in transcriptional elongation, acting both independently and synergistically with TCEA1 and in cooperation with the DSIF complex and HTATSF1. PAF1C is required for transcription of Hox and Wnt target genes. PAF1C is involved in hematopoiesis and stimulates transcriptional activity of KMT2A/MLL1; it promotes leukemogenesis through association with KMT2A/MLL1-rearranged oncoproteins, such as KMT2A/MLL1-MLLT3/AF9 and KMT2A/MLL1-MLLT1/ENL. PAF1C is involved in histone modifications such as ubiquitination of histone H2B and methylation on histone H3 ‘Lys-4’ (H3K4me3). PAF1C recruits the RNF20/40 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex and the E2 enzyme UBE2A or UBE2B to chromatin which mediate monoubiquitination of ‘Lys-120’ of histone H2B (H2BK120ub1); UB2A/B-mediated H2B ubiquitination is proposed to be coupled to transcription. PAF1C is involved in mRNA 3’ end formation probably through association with cleavage and poly(A) factors. In case of infection by influenza A strain H3N2, PAF1C associates with viral NS1 protein, thereby regulating gene transcription. Involved in polyadenylation of mRNA precursors. Connects PAF1C to Wnt signaling.

Subunit / interactions. Component of the PAF1 complex, which consists of CDC73, PAF1, LEO1, CTR9, RTF1 and SKIC8. The PAF1 complex interacts with PHF5A. Interacts with TCEA1, SUPT5H and CTNNB1. Interacts with SETD5. (Microbial infection) The PAF1 complex interacts with Zika virus French Polynesia 10087PF/2013 non-structural protein 5/NS5. The interaction with viral NS5 proteins may reduce the antiviral immune response by inhibiting the recruitment of the PAF1 complex to interferon-stimulated genes, thus preventing their transcription. (Microbial infection) The PAF1 complex interacts with Dengue virus DENV2 16681 non-structural protein 5/NS5. The PAF1 complex interacts with Dengue virus DENV4 Dominica/814669/1981 non-structural protein 5/NS5. The interaction with viral NS5 proteins may reduce the antiviral immune response by inhibiting the recruitment of the PAF1 complex to interferon-stimulated genes, thus preventing their transcription.

Subcellular location. Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in skeletal muscle and heart. Weakly expressed in placenta and liver.

Similarity. Belongs to the LEO1 family.
