'''DSIF''' ([[5,6-Dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole|DRB]] Sensitivity Inducing Factor) is a [[protein complex]] that can either negatively or positively affect transcription by [[RNA polymerase II]] (Pol II).{{cite journal | vauthors = Wada T, Takagi T, Yamaguchi Y, Ferdous A, Imai T, Hirose S, Sugimoto S, Yano K, Hartzog GA, Winston F, Buratowski S, Handa H | display-authors = 6 | title = DSIF, a novel transcription elongation factor that regulates RNA polymerase II processivity, is composed of human Spt4 and Spt5 homologs | journal = Genes & Development | volume = 12 | issue = 3 | pages = 343–356 | date = February 1998 | pmid = 9450929 | pmc = 316480 | doi = 10.1101/gad.12.3.343 }} It can interact with the [[negative elongation factor]] (NELF) to promote the stalling of Pol II at some genes, which is called promoter proximal pausing.{{Cite journal |last1=Tettey |first1=Theophilus T. |last2=Gao |first2=Xin |last3=Shao |first3=Wanqing |last4=Li |first4=Hua |last5=Story |first5=Benjamin A. |last6=Chitsazan |first6=Alex D. |last7=Glaser |first7=Robert L. |last8=Goode |first8=Zach H. |last9=Seidel |first9=Christopher W. |last10=Conaway |first10=Ronald C. |last11=Zeitlinger |first11=Julia |last12=Blanchette |first12=Marco |last13=Conaway |first13=Joan W. |date=2019-06-25 |title=A Role for FACT in RNA Polymerase II Promoter-Proximal Pausing |journal=Cell Reports |language=en |volume=27 |issue=13 |pages=3770–3779.e7 |doi=10.1016/j.celrep.2019.05.099|doi-access=free |pmid=31242411 }} The pause occurs soon after initiation, once 20–60 nucleotides have been transcribed.

The complex locks the RNA polymerase (RNAP) clamp into a closed state to prevent the elongation complex (EC) from dissociating. The Spt5 [[NGN domain]] helps anneal the two strands of DNA upstream. The single [[KOW domain]] in bacteria and archaea anchors a [[ribosome]] to the RNAP.
