Hit Description  cd07978 TAF13 The TATA Binding Protein (TBP) Associated Factor 13 (TAF13) is one of several TAFs that bind TBP and is involved in forming Transcription Factor IID (TFIID) complex. The TATA Binding Protein (TBP) Associated Factor 13 (TAF13) is one of several TAFs that bind TBP and is involved in forming the Transcription Factor IID (TFIID) complex. TFIID is one of seven General Transcription Factors (GTF) (TFIIA TFIIB TFIID TFIIE TFIIF and TFIID) that are involved in accurate initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase II in eukaryotes. TFIID plays an important role in the recognition of promoter DNA and assembly of the pre-initiation complex. TFIID complex is composed of the TBP and at least 13 TAFs. TAFs from various species were originally named by their predicted molecular weight or their electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide gels. A new unified nomenclature for the pol II TAFs has been suggested to show the relationship between TAFs orthologs and paralogs. Several hypotheses are proposed for TAFs functions such as serving as activator-binding sites core-promoter recognition or a role in essential catalytic activity. Each TAF with the help of a specific activator is required only for expression of subset of genes and is not universally involved for transcription as are GTFs. In yeast and human cells TAFs have been found as components of other complexes besides TFIID. Several TAFs interact via histone-fold (HFD) motifs the HFD is the interaction motif involved in heterodimerization of the core histones and their assembly into nucleosome octamers. The minimal HFD contains three alpha-helices linked by two loops and are found in core histones TAFs and many other transcription factors. TFIID has a histone octamer-like substructure. TAF13 interacts with TAF11 and makes a histone-like heterodimer similar to H3/H4-like proteins. The dimer may be structurally and functionally similar to the spt3 protein within the SAGA histone acetyltransferase complex. Hit Pcons  19.57
