Supplementary information

TAF6 also known as TAFII70 is a component of the transcription factor IID (TFIID) complex with a mass of about 70 kDa. This protein plays an important role in the initiation of gene transcription by RNA polymerase II. It is expressed in various tissues throughout the body. TAF6 interacts with core promoter elements to facilitate the recruitment of other transcriptional machinery components.
Biological function summary

TAF6 functions as part of the larger TFIID complex which is essential for transcription initiation. The TFIID complex assembles at the core promoter and helps in the recognition and binding of sequence-specific DNA sites. TAF6 contributes to the structural integrity and functional specificity of the complex. These interactions are fundamental for maintaining proper gene expression patterns within cells.

Pathways

TAF6 is integral to transcription regulation pathways such as those initiating from the TATA box within promoters. It works closely with other TFIID components like TATA-binding protein (TBP) and TAF1. Through these interactions TAF6 ensures the correct positioning of RNA polymerase II for efficient transcription initiation. Another pathway involving TAF6 is the MAPK signaling pathway where TAF6 can influence transcriptional responses to external signals.

Alterations in TAF6 expression or function have been implicated in certain cancers such as colorectal cancer. TAF6 can also interact with p53 a well-known tumor suppressor protein linking it to cancer progression pathways. Mutations or dysregulation of TAF6 may affect p53-mediated stress responses contributing to tumor development and progression.

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). The TFIID complex structure can be divided into 3 modules TFIID-A, TFIID-B, and TFIID-C (PubMed : 33795473). TAF6 homodimer connects TFIID modules, forming a rigid core (PubMed : 33795473).. Isoform 4. Transcriptional regulator which acts primarily as a positive regulator of transcription (PubMed : 20096117, PubMed : 29358700). Recruited to the promoters of a number of genes including GADD45A and CDKN1A/p21, leading to transcriptional up-regulation and subsequent induction of apoptosis (PubMed : 11583621). Also up-regulates expression of other genes including GCNA/ACRC, HES1 and IFFO1 (PubMed : 18628956). In contrast, down-regulates transcription of MDM2 (PubMed : 11583621). Acts as a transcriptional coactivator to enhance transcription of TP53/p53-responsive genes such as DUSP1 (PubMed : 20096117). Can also activate transcription and apoptosis independently of TP53 (PubMed : 18628956). Drives apoptosis via the intrinsic apoptotic pathway by up-regulating apoptosis effectors such as BCL2L11/BIM and PMAIP1/NOXA (PubMed : 29358700).
