TAF5

Initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase II requires the activities of more than 70 polypeptides. The protein that coordinates these activities is transcription factor IID (TFIID), which binds to the core promoter to position the polymerase properly, serves as the scaffold for assembly of the remainder of the transcription complex, and acts as a channel for regulatory signals. TFIID is composed of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and a group of evolutionarily conserved proteins known as TBP-associated factors or TAFs. TAFs may participate in basal transcription, serve as coactivators, function in promoter recognition or modify general transcription factors (GTFs) to facilitate complex assembly and transcription initiation. This gene encodes an integral subunit of TFIID associated with all transcriptionally competent forms of that complex. This subunit interacts strongly with two TFIID subunits that show similarity to histones H3 and H4, and it may participate in forming a nucleosome-like core in the TFIID complex.

Interaction

Homodimer (PubMed:17227857). Component of the TFIID basal transcription factor complex, composed of TATA-box-binding protein TBP, and a number of TBP-associated factors (TAFs), including TAF1, TAF2, TAF3, TAF4, TAF5, TAF6, TAF7, TAF8, TAF9, TAF10, TAF11, TAF12 and TAF13 (PubMed:10373431, PubMed:33795473). The TFIID complex structure can be divided into 3 modules TFIID-A, TFIID-B, and TFIID-C (PubMed:33795473). TAF5 forms the TFIID-A module together with TAF3 and TBP, and in TFIID-B with TAF8 (PubMed:33795473). Component of the TFTC-HAT complex, at least composed of TAF5L, TAF6L, TADA3L, SUPT3H/SPT3, TAF2, TAF4, TAF5, GCN5L2/GCN5, TAF10 and TRRAP (PubMed:10373431, PubMed:12601814, PubMed:17227857). TBP is not part of the TFTC-HAT complex (PubMed:10373431, PubMed:12601814). Interacts strongly with the histone H4-related TAF6 and the histone H3-related TAF9, as well as a stable complex comprised of both TAF6 and TAF9 (PubMed:9045704). Apparently weaker interactions with TBP, TAF1, TAF11, and TAF12, but not TAF7, also have been observed (PubMed:8758937, PubMed:9045704). (Microbial infection) Interacts with SV40 Large T antigen.
