Summary
This gene encodes the protein elongin B, which is a subunit of the transcription factor B (SIII) complex. The SIII complex is composed of elongins A/A2, B and C. It activates elongation by RNA polymerase II by suppressing transient pausing of the polymerase at many sites within transcription units. Elongin A functions as the transcriptionally active component of the SIII complex, whereas elongins B and C are regulatory subunits. Elongin A2 is specifically expressed in the testis, and capable of forming a stable complex with elongins B and C. The von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein binds to elongins B and C, and thereby inhibits transcription elongation. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. Pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 11 and 13. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]

vif HIV-1 Vif (amino acids 144-149; SLQXLA motif) interacts with cellular proteins Cul5, elongins B and C, and Rbx1 to form an Skp1-Cullin-F-box (SCF)-like complex that allows Vif to interact with APOBEC3G and induce its ubiquitination and degradation PubMed
vif HIV-1 Vif mutants W5S, W21S, W38S, W89S, F112S, and F115S have a reduced ability to interact with CBF-beta, but these Vif hydrophobic residue mutations still interact with EloB PubMed
vif Simultaneous substitution of the three Vif-interacting residues L52, W53, and D55 and the two ELOC-interacting residues P41 and H48 in CUL5 impairs the ability of CUL5 to interact with the Vif-CBF-beta-ELOB-ELOC protein complex PubMed

vif The solubility of HIV-1 Vif is significantly enhanced by co-expression of EloB, EloC, and CBF-beta in vitro PubMed
vif The substitution of Leu64 or Ile66 with serine abolishes the ability of CBF-beta to interact with the Vif-EloB/EloC complex, while the substitution of Thr68 or Tyr69 with alanine has an intermediate effect on the interaction of CBF-beta with the complex PubMed
vif Amino acid residues Vif135-158 have the most binding to the Elongin BC complex and undergo a structural change in the presence of Elongin BC PubMed

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
