Gene Ontology
GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code. SGD has manually curated and high-throughput GO Annotations, both derived from the literature, as well as computational, or predicted, annotations.

Complex
Macromolecular complex annotations are imported from the Complex Portal. These annotations have been derived from physical molecular interaction evidence extracted from the literature and cross-referenced in the entry, or by curator inference from information on homologs in closely related species or by inference from scientific background.
Phenotype
Phenotype annotations for a gene are curated single mutant phenotypes that require an observable (e.g., "cell shape"), a qualifier (e.g., "abnormal"), a mutant type (e.g., null), strain background, and a reference. In addition, annotations are classified as classical genetics or high-throughput (e.g., large scale survey, systematic mutation set). Whenever possible, allele information and additional details are provided. Click "Phenotype Details" to view all phenotype annotations and evidence for this locus as well as phenotypes it shares with other genes.

- Summary
- LEO1 encodes an RNA-binding component of the Polymerase-Associated Factor 1 (Paf1) complex (Paf1C). Other members of Paf1C include Cdc73p, Ctr9p, Paf1p, and Rtf1p. Paf1C is highly conserved throughout eukaryotes and participates in multiple aspects of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcriptional regulation. Paf1c promotes RNAPII transcription elongation and transcription-coupled histone modifications, thereby affecting various cellular processes such as gene expression, silencing, RNA maturation, DNA repair, and cell cycle progression. Leo1p is required for full association of the Paf1C with active chromatin. Interaction of Leo1p with nascent mRNA may stabilize the association of Paf1C with transcribed genes. Paf1C associates with RNAPII and influences the phosphorylation state of the RNAPII CTD. Paf1C influences gene expression by promoting histone H2BK123 ubiquitylation and methylation at histone H3K4 and K79. Paf1C promotes histone H3K36 trimethylation and affects histone acetylation levels. Paf1C functions cooperatively with other factors influencing chromatin structure, such as the elongation complex Spt4p-Spt5p, the histone chaperone FACT, and the chromatin remodeler Chd1p. Paf1C also coordinates transcription elongation with transcription termination and RNA 3'-end processing.
Expression
Expression data are derived from records contained in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and are first log2 transformed and normalized. Referenced datasets may contain one or more condition(s), and as a result there may be a greater number of conditions than datasets represented in a single clickable histogram bar. The histogram division at 0.0 separates the down-regulated (green) conditions and datasets from those that are up-regulated (red). Click "Expression Details" to view all expression annotations and details for this locus, including a visualization of genes that share a similar expression pattern.
Literature
All manually curated literature for the specified gene, organized into topics according to their relevance to the gene (Primary Literature, Additional Literature, or Review). Click "Literature Details" to view all literature information for this locus, including shared literature between genes.
