CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN CCG1/TAFII250-INTERACTING FACTOR B (CIB)
Overview
The general transcription initiation factor TFIID and its interactors play, critical roles in regulating the transcription from both naked and, chromatin DNA. We have isolated a novel TFIID interactor that we denoted, as CCG1/TAF(II)250-interacting factor B (CIB). We show here that CIB, activates transcription. To further understand the function of this, protein, we determined its crystal structure at 2.2-Angstroms resolution., The tertiary structure of CIB reveals an alpha/beta-hydrolase fold that, resembles structures in the prokaryotic alpha/beta-hydrolase family, proteins. It is not similar in structure or primary sequence to any, eukaryotic transcription or chromatin factors that have been reported to, date. CIB possesses a conserved catalytic triad that is found in other, alpha/beta-hydrolases, and our in vitro studies confirmed that it bears, hydrolase activity. However, CIB differs from other alpha/beta-hydrolases, in that it lacks a binding site excursion, which facilitates the substrate, selectivity of the other alpha/beta-hydrolases. Further functional, characterization of CIB based on its tertiary structure and through, biochemical studies may provide novel insights into the mechanisms that, regulate eukaryotic transcription.
