Function

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:2194289, PubMed:2363050, PubMed:2374612, PubMed:27193682, 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:27007846, PubMed:33795473). The TFIID complex structure can be divided into 3 modules TFIID-A, TFIID-B, and TFIID-C (PubMed:33795473). TBP forms the TFIID-A module together with TAF3 and TAF5 (PubMed:33795473). TBP is a general transcription factor that functions at the core of the TFIID complex (PubMed:2194289, PubMed:2363050, PubMed:2374612, PubMed:27193682, PubMed:33795473, PubMed:9836642). During assembly of the core PIC on the promoter, as part of TFIID, TBP binds to and also bends promoter DNA, irrespective of whether the promoter contains a TATA box (PubMed:33795473). Component of a BRF2-containing transcription factor complex that regulates transcription mediated by RNA polymerase III (PubMed:26638071). Component of the transcription factor SL1/TIF-IB complex, which is involved in the assembly of the PIC during RNA polymerase I-dependent transcription (PubMed:15970593). The rate of PIC formation probably is primarily dependent on the rate of association of SL1 with the rDNA promoter (PubMed:15970593). SL1 is involved in stabilization of nucleolar transcription factor 1/UBTF on rDNA (PubMed:15970593).

Activity summary

The TATA binding protein (TBP) also known as TBP or TFIID (Transcription Factor IID) is a central player in transcription initiation. This protein weighing approximately 38 kDa binds to the TATA box a DNA sequence found in the promoter region of many genes especially those transcribed by RNA polymerase II. TBP facilitates the loading of the transcription machinery onto DNA enabling the start of transcription. It is found inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells present across diverse cell types owing to its role in gene expression.

Biological function summary

TBP serves as a pivotal anchor in the assembly of the transcription preinitiation complex contributing to the process by bending DNA to assist other transcription factors such as TFIIA and TFIIB in binding. Its role in this complex illustrates its importance in regulating gene expression at a fundamental level. TBP’s interaction with other transcription factors ensures precise transcription regulation reflecting its significant contribution to cellular activities.

Pathways

TBP acts within the RNA polymerase II transcription initiation pathway and is integral in regulating gene expression. TBP's involvement is critical for the process of starting the transcription of mRNA. In its pathway TBP interacts with proteins like TFIID helping to anchor other transcription factors in the complex. By collaborating with these proteins TBP shapes gene regulatory networks essential for a wide range of cellular functions.

Associated diseases and disorders

TBP is linked to conditions such as spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA17) and Huntington's disease. SCA17 is associated with mutations in the TBP gene that disrupt its usual functioning leading to neurodegeneration. In Huntington's disease TBP's interaction with proteins such as huntingtin may influence nuclear signaling pathways involved in disease progression. The understanding of TBP’s role in these disorders underlines its relevance in research focused on genetic diseases and transcription-related pathologies.
