IPR037796 is a Transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 6.
<p>Transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 6 (TAF6) is a component of the DNA-binding general transcription factor complex TFIID [[cite:PUB00087622]] and the regulatory transcription regulatory histone acetylation (HAT) complexes SAGA [[cite:PUB00087621]], SALSA [[cite:PUB00063471]] and SLIK [[cite:PUB00087618]].</p> <p>The DNA-binding general transcription factor complex TFIID is central to the initiation of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II transcription. TFIID is the only general transcription initiation factor that bind to the TATA box. The binding of TFIID to the TATA-box is the first step in the formation of a complex able to initiate transcription [[cite:PUB00087636]]. TFIID consists of the TATA binding protein (TBP) and 14 TBP-associated factors (TAFs). One copy of each TAF1, TAF2, TAF3, TAF7, TAF8, TAF11, TAF13, two copies of each TAF4, TAF5, TAF6, TAF9, TAF10, TAF12, and three copies of TAF14 [[cite:PUB00087622]].</p> <p>The transcription regulatory histone acetylation complex Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase (SAGA) is involved in RNA polymerase II-dependent transcriptional regulation of approximately 10% of yeast genes. SAGA preferentially acetylates histones H3 and H2B and deubiquitinates histone H2B [[cite:PUB00063472]]. SAGA is known as PCAF in vertebrates and PCAF acetylates nucleosomal histone H3 [[cite:PUB00087672]]. The SAGA complex consists of at least TRA1, CHD1, SPT7, TAF5, ADA3, SGF73, SPT20/ADA5, SPT8, TAF12, TAF6, HFI1/ADA1, UBP8, GCN5, ADA2, SPT3, SGF29, TAF10, TAF9, SGF11 and SUS1, and some of these components are present as two copies. The complex is built up from distinct modules, each of which has a separate function and crosslinks with either other proteins or other modules in the complex [[cite:PUB00087619]].</p> <p>SLIK (SAGA-like) is a multi-subunit histone acetyltransferase complex that preferentially acetylates histones H3 and H2B and deubiquitinates histone H2B. It is an embellishment of the SAGA complex. The yeast SLIK complex consists of at least TRA1, CHD1, SPT7, CC TAF5, ADA3, SPT20, RTG2, TAF12, TAF6, HFI1, UBP8 (a deubiquitinase), GCN5, ADA2, SPT3, SGF29, TAF10 and TAF9 [[cite:PUB00063472], [cite:PUB00087618]].</p> <p>The yeast SALSA complex is an altered form of the SAGA complex and consists of at least TRA1, SPT7 (C-terminal truncated form), TAF5, ADA3, SPT20, TAF12, TAF6, HFI1, GCN5, ADA2 and SPT3 [[cite:PUB00063471]].</p>

| GO term | Namespace | Name | Definition | Relationships |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cellular component | SAGA complex | A SAGA-type histone acetyltransferase complex that contains Spt8 (in budding yeast) or a homolog thereof; additional polypeptides include Spt group, consisting of Spt7, Spt3, and Spt20/Ada5, which interact with the TATA-binding protein (TBP); the Ada group, consisting of Ada1, Ada2, Ada3, Ada4/Gcn5, and Ada5/Spt20, which is functionally linked to the nucleosomal HAT activity; Tra1, an ATM/PI-3 kinase-related protein that targets DNA-bound activators for recruitment to promoters; the TBP-associated factor (TAF) proteins, consisting of Taf5, Taf6, Taf9, Taf10, and Taf12, which mediate nucleosomal HAT activity and are thought to help recruit the basal transcription machinery; the ubiquitin specifc protease Ubp-8. | ||
| Cellular component | Transcription factor TFIID complex | A complex composed of TATA binding protein (TBP) and TBP associated factors (TAFs); the total mass is typically about 800 kDa. Most of the TAFs are conserved across species. In TATA-containing promoters for RNA polymerase II (Pol II), TFIID is believed to recognize at least two distinct elements, the TATA element and a downstream promoter element. TFIID is also involved in recognition of TATA-less Pol II promoters. Binding of TFIID to DNA is necessary but not sufficient for transcription initiation from most RNA polymerase II promoters. | ||
| Biological process | Regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of transcription mediated by RNA polymerase II. | ||
| Biological process | Transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter | Any process involved in the assembly of the RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex (PIC) at an RNA polymerase II promoter region of a DNA template, resulting in the subsequent synthesis of RNA from that promoter. The initiation phase includes PIC assembly and the formation of the first few bonds in the RNA chain, including abortive initiation, which occurs when the first few nucleotides are repeatedly synthesized and then released. Promoter clearance, or release, is the transition between the initiation and elongation phases of transcription. | ||
| Cellular component | SLIK (SAGA-like) complex | A SAGA-type histone acetyltransferase complex that contains Rtg2 and a smaller form of Spt7 than the fungal SAGA complex, and lacks Spt8. The complex is involved in the yeast retrograde response pathway, which is important for gene expression changes during mitochondrial dysfunction. |
