SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF A TBP-TAFII230 COMPLEX: PROTEIN MIMICRY OF THE MINOR GROOVE SURFACE OF THE TATA BOX UNWOUND BY TBP, NMR, 25 STRUCTURES
Structural highlights
FunctionTAF1_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] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedGeneral transcription factor TFIID consists of TATA box-binding protein (TBP) and TBP-associated factors (TAF(II)s), which together play a central role in both positive and negative regulation of transcription. The N-terminal region of the 230 kDa Drosophila TAF(II) (dTAF(II)230) binds directly to TBP and inhibits TBP binding to the TATA box. We report here the solution structure of the complex formed by dTAF(II)230 N-terminal region (residues 11-77) and TBP. dTAF(II)230(11-77) comprises three alpha helices and a beta hairpin, forming a core that occupies the concave DNA-binding surface of TBP. The TBP-binding surface of dTAF(II)230 markedly resembles the minor groove surface of the partially unwound TATA box in the TBP-TATA complex. This protein mimicry of the TATA element surface provides the structural basis of the mechanism by which dTAF(II)230 negatively controls the TATA box-binding activity within the TFIID complex.
