Summary
SCAF4 (SR-related CTD associated factor 4, HGNC:19304) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 21q22.11, encoding SR-related and CTD-associated factor 4 (O95104). Anti-terminator protein required to prevent early mRNA termination during transcription. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 15.2% of cell lines).
This gene likely encodes a member of the arginine/serine-rich splicing factor family. A similar protein in Rat appears to bind the large subunit of RNA polymerase II and provide a link between transcription and pre-mRNA splicing. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

Function. Anti-terminator protein required to prevent early mRNA termination during transcription. Together with SCAF8, acts by suppressing the use of early, alternative poly(A) sites, thereby preventing the accumulation of non-functional truncated proteins. Mechanistically, associates with the phosphorylated C-terminal heptapeptide repeat domain (CTD) of the largest RNA polymerase II subunit (POLR2A), and subsequently binds nascent RNA upstream of early polyadenylation sites to prevent premature mRNA transcript cleavage and polyadenylation. Independently of SCAF8, also acts as a suppressor of transcriptional readthrough.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with POLR2A; via C-terminal heptapeptide repeat domain (CTD) phosphorylated at ‘Ser-2’ and ‘Ser-5’.
