TCEA1
TCEA1 (Transcription elongation factor A protein 1) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. The public catalogues list it as a fusion partner, and the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Oral cavity cancer.
Overview
Necessary for efficient RNA polymerase II transcription elongation past template-encoded arresting sites. The arresting sites in DNA have the property of trapping a certain fraction of elongating RNA polymerases that pass through, resulting in locked ternary complexes. Cleavage of the nascent transcript by S-II allows the resumption of elongation from the new 3'-terminus.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.55 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.23, genetic association 0.00, somatic mutation 0.89).

- 2 · What goes wrong in cancer
Necessary for efficient RNA polymerase II transcription elongation past template-encoded arresting sites.
- 3 · How drugs use it
No product in this corpus aims at TCEA1 yet. Transcription factors have no pocket to plug, so drugs either degrade them or block the partner protein they need to dock on DNA.

Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: UniProt disease notes describe a translocation or gene fusion involving the gene. Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
