Function
[TAF3_HUMAN] Transcription factor TFIID is one of the general factors required for accurate and regulated initiation by RNA polymerase II. TFIID is a multimeric protein complex that plays a central role in mediating promoter responses to various activators and repressors. Required in complex with TBPL2 for the differentiation of myoblasts into myocytes. The complex replaces TFIID at specific promoters at an early stage in the differentiation process.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Chemical modifications on histones and DNA/RNA constitute a fundamental mechanism for epigenetic regulation. These modifications often function as docking marks to recruit or stabilize cognate "reader" proteins. So far, a platform for quantitative and high-throughput profiling of the epigenetic interactome is urgently needed but still lacking. Here, we report a 3D-carbene chip-based surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) technology for this purpose. The 3D-carbene chip is suitable for immobilizing versatile biomolecules (e.g., peptides, antibody, DNA/RNA) and features low nonspecific binding, random yet function-retaining immobilization, and robustness for reuses. We systematically profiled binding kinetics of 1,000 histone "reader-mark" pairs on a single 3D-carbene chip and validated two recognition events by calorimetric and structural studies. Notably, a discovery on H3K4me3 recognition by the DNA mismatch repair protein MSH6 in Capsella rubella suggests a mechanism of H3K4me3-mediated DNA damage repair in plant.
