A functionally divergent transcription elongation factor 1‐like protein in Toxoplasma gondii

Abstract excerpt

Zinc ribbons, one of the largest fold groups among zinc fingers, often include proteins involved in the transcription machinery. Here, we identify and characterize one such zinc ribbon-bearing protein in the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, annotated as putative transcription elongation factor 1 (ELF1), with predicted functions in transcription and chromatin maintenance. We show that this ELF1 homolog,...
