General annotation (Comments)

Function	TAFs are components of the transcription factor IID (TFIID) complex, PCAF histone acetylase complex and TBP-free TAFII complex (TFTC). TAFs components-TIIFD are essential for mediating regulation of RNA polymerase transcription.
Subunit structure	TFIID and PCAF are composed of TATA binding protein (TBP) and a number of TBP-associated factors (TAFs). TBP is not part of TFTC. Interacts directly with TBP; additional interactions between TAFII20 and TAFII28 or TAFII30 were detected. Component of the PCAF complex, at least composed of TADA2L/ADA2, TADA3L/ADA3, TAF5L/PAF65-beta, SUPT3H, TAF6L, TAF9, TAF10, TAF12 and TRRAP. Component of the STAGA transcription coactivator-HAT complex, at least composed of SUPT3H, GCN5L2, TAF5L, TAF6L, STAF65-gamma/KIAA0764, TADA3L, TAD1L, TAF10, TAF12, TRRAP and TAF9. Interacts (isoform TAFII15 and isoform TAFII20) with ATF7 (via the transactivation domain); the interaction is prevented by sumoylation of ATF7 and promotes (isoform TAFII20 only) the transactivation of ATF7. Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13
Subcellular location	Nucleus Ref.10 Ref.11.
Tissue specificity	Ubiquitous.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the TAF12 family. Contains 1 histone-fold domain.
