Supplementary information

TAF1 also known as TATA-box binding protein associated factor 1 has a mechanical role as a transcription factor in the initiation process of transcription. This protein forms a part of the larger transcription factor IID (TFIID) complex weighing approximately 200 kDa. TAF1 expresses broadly in tissues where it plays an important role in mediating transcriptional regulation. It is a general transcription factor that serves as a molecular scaffold essential for recruiting the necessary machinery to specific promotor regions of DNA for transcription activation.
Biological function summary

TAF1 interacts extensively with other TFIID components to control the formation of the pre-initiation complex on core promoters. This protein is integral to the regulation of gene expression by modulating transcriptional activity in cells. TAF1 acts as a histone acetyltransferase and a kinase modifying other proteins' functions and structural capabilities in the transcription process. Its enzymatic activities make it essential for the phosphorylation and acetylation of histones directly impacting the accessibility of chromatin for transcription.

Pathways

TAF1 functions prominently in the RNA polymerase II transcription initiation pathway. Its interactions with TATA-binding protein and other TAFs facilitate the robust expression of genes essential for various cellular functions. TAF1 establishes connections with proteins like TBP acting within the canonical pathway that guides precise transcription initiation. Additionally TAF1 partakes in the p53 signaling pathway where it interacts with several p53 regulators influencing cell cycle regulation and apoptosis.

TAF1 mutations are linked to X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism and certain neurodegenerative disorders. Aberrations in TAF1 function impact transcriptional regulation leading to dysregulation in neuronal gene expression. Furthermore TAF1 associations with Huntington's disease have been documented highlighting its role in neuronal survival and stress response. In these diseases altered pathways implicate TAF1 with other proteins such as Huntingtin underlining its importance in maintaining neuronal health and function.

Target data

The TFIID basal transcription factor complex plays a major role in the initiation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription (PubMed : 33795473). TFIID recognizes and binds promoters with or without a TATA box via its subunit TBP, a TATA-box-binding protein, and promotes assembly of the pre-initiation complex (PIC) (PubMed : 33795473). The TFIID complex consists of TBP and TBP-associated factors (TAFs), including TAF1, TAF2, TAF3, TAF4, TAF5, TAF6, TAF7, TAF8, TAF9, TAF10, TAF11, TAF12 and TAF13 (PubMed : 33795473). TAF1 is the largest component and core scaffold of the TFIID complex, involved in nucleating complex assembly (PubMed : 25412659, PubMed : 27007846, PubMed : 33795473). TAF1 forms a promoter DNA binding subcomplex of TFIID, together with TAF7 and TAF2 (PubMed : 33795473). Contains novel N- and C-terminal Ser/Thr kinase domains which can autophosphorylate or transphosphorylate other transcription factors (PubMed : 25412659, PubMed : 8625415). Phosphorylates TP53 on 'Thr-55' which leads to MDM2-mediated degradation of TP53 (PubMed : 25412659). Phosphorylates GTF2A1 and GTF2F1 on Ser residues (PubMed : 25412659). Possesses DNA-binding activity (PubMed : 25412659). Essential for progression of the G1 phase of the cell cycle (PubMed : 11278496, PubMed : 15053879, PubMed : 2038334, PubMed : 8450888, PubMed : 8625415, PubMed : 9660973, PubMed : 9858607). Exhibits histone acetyltransferase activity towards histones H3 and H4 (PubMed : 15870300).
