Factors associated with the release of P-TEFb from 7SK snRNP.
| Factors | Mechanisms | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| PP2B and PP1 α | Sequentially dephosphorylate 7SK snRNP and Cdk9 | [16] |
| PPM1G | Recruited by NF-κB and Tat, and dephosphorylates Cdk9 | [17] |
| Tat | Changes confirmation of 7SK RNA | [18] |
| HIC mRNA | Displaces 7SK RNA from 7SK snRNP by competition | [20] |
| SRSF1 and 2 | Binds the exonic-splicing enhancer sequence in nascent mRNA | [21] |
| Calpain 2 | Cleaves Mepce | [22] |
| JMJD6 | Decaps 7SK RNA and destabilizes 7SK snRNP | [25] |
| AFF1 | Promotes Tat’s extraction of P-TEFb from 7SK snRNP | [55] |
| PIP7S | Maintains 7SK snRNP integrity | [56] |
