Structural highlights
Function
TAF1_DROME TFIID is a multimeric protein complex that plays a central role in mediating promoter responses to various activators and repressors. Largest component and core scaffold of the complex. Contains N- and C-terminal Ser/Thr kinase domains which can autophosphorylate or transphosphorylate other transcription factors. The C-terminal Ser/Thr kinase domain phosphorylates histone H2B at 'Ser-33', which may contribute to transcriptional activation during embryogenesis. Possesses DNA-binding activity. Essential for progression of the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Negative regulator of the TATA box-binding activity of Tbp.[1] [2] [3] [4]
