This study identifies shared and independent transcriptional targets of SSRP1 and Spt16, including the serum-responsive gene *egr1*, where FACT promotes RNA polymerase II elongation. FACT also associates with casein kinase 2 (CK2), which phosphorylates SSRP1 and modulates its DNA-binding activity, primarily through serine 510. Additionally, SSRP1 is shown to play a novel role in mitosis by regulating microtubule dynamics and spindle organization. Together, these findings reveal multifaceted roles for SSRP1 in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, and growth control. 000000199 540__ $$fCC BY 000000199 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000199 650__ $$aGene Expression Regulation$$019437 000000199 650__ $$aMitosis$$022357 000000199 650__ $$aCasein Kinases$$035956 000000199 650__ $$aTranscriptional Elongation Factors$$034663 000000199 650__ $$aEarly Growth Response Protein 1$$036993 000000199 6531_ $$assrp1 000000199 6531_ $$agene regulation 000000199 6531_ $$ack2 000000199 6531_ $$aegr1 000000199 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000199 692__ $$aDepartment of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology$$041396 000000199 7001_ $$aLi, Yanping$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000199 7201_ $$aLu, Hua$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eMentor$$eAdvisor 000000199 8564_ $$9475daad2-fff9-4f64-afdf-9999dac9d0bd$$s1990283$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/199/files/199_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2432f728532b9067d044e7bcdff77b89e$$31 000000199 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
