'''Protein IWS1 homolog''' also known as '''interacts with Spt6''' (IWS1) is a [[protein]] that in humans is encoded by the ''IWS1'' [[gene]].<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: IWS1 IWS1 homolog (S. cerevisiae)| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=55677| accessdate = }}</ref>
IWS1 is a transcription [[elongation factor]]. It was first identified during a search for [[RNA polymerase II]]-associated elongation factors in [[yeast]]; it directly interacts with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and is [[Phosphorylation|phosphorylated]] at [[Casein kinase 2|casein kinase II]] (CKII) sites.<ref name="pmid12242279">{{cite journal | vauthors = Krogan NJ, Kim M, Ahn SH, Zhong G, Kobor MS, Cagney G, Emili A, Shilatifard A, Buratowski S, Greenblatt JF | title = RNA polymerase II elongation factors of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: a targeted proteomics approach | journal = Molecular and Cellular Biology | volume = 22 | issue = 20 | pages = 6979–92 | date = Oct 2002 | pmid = 12242279 | pmc = 139818 | doi = 10.1128/MCB.22.20.6979-6992.2002 }}</ref>
