== Function ==

[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TAF4B_ARATH TAF4B_ARATH] TAFs are components of the transcription factor IID (TFIID) complex that is essential for mediating regulation of RNA polymerase transcription.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

Formation of transcription factor:coregulator complexes is a key step in transcriptional regulation, with coregulators having essential functions as hub nodes in molecular networks. How specificity and selectivity are maintained in these nodes remain open questions. In this work, we addressed specificity in transcriptional networks using complexes formed between transcription factors and alphaalpha-hubs, a group of hub domains defined by a common alphaalpha-hairpin secondary structure motif, as a model. Using NMR spectroscopy and binding thermodynamics, we analyzed the structure, dynamics, stability, and ligand-binding properties of the Arabidopsis thaliana RST domains from transcription initiation complex factor TAF4 and known binding partner RCD1, and the TAFH domain from human TAF4, allowing comparison across species, functions, and architectural contexts. While these alphaalpha-hubs shared the alphaalpha-hairpin motif, they differed in length and orientation of accessory helices as well as in their thermodynamic profiles of ligand binding. Whereas biologically relevant RCD1:ligand pairs displayed high affinity driven by enthalpy, TAF4:ligand interactions were entropy-driven and exhibited less binding-induced structuring. We additionally identified a thermal unfolding state with a structured core for all three domains, although the temperature sensitivity differed. Thermal stability studies suggested that initial unfolding of the RCD1-RST domain localized around Helix 1, lending this region structural malleability, while effects in TAF4-RST were more stochastic, suggesting variability in structural adaptability upon binding. Collectively, our results support a model in which hub structure, flexibility and binding thermodynamics all contribute to alphaalpha-hub:transcription factor binding specificity, a finding of general relevance to the understanding of coregulator:ligand interactions and interactome sizes.
