Crystal structure of the human TAF5-TAF6-TAF9 complex
Structural highlights
Function[TAF5_HUMAN] 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. TAF5/TAFII100 interacts strongly with the histone H4-related TAF6/TAFII80 and the histone H3-related TAF9/TAFII31, as well as a stable complex comprised of both TAF5/TAFII80 and TAF6/TAFII31. Apparently weaker interactions of TAF5/TAFII100 with TBP, TAF1/TAFII250, TAF11/TAFII28, and TAF12/TAFII20, but not TAF7/TAFII55, also have been observed. [TAF9_HUMAN] Essential for cell viability. TAF9 and TAF9B are involved in transcriptional activation as well as repression of distinct but overlapping sets of genes. May have a role in gene regulation associated with apoptosis. TAFs are components of the transcription factor IID (TFIID) complex, the TBP-free TAFII complex (TFTC), the PCAF histone acetylase complex and the STAGA transcription coactivator-HAT complex. TFIID or TFTC are essential for the regulation of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription.[1] [TAF6_HUMAN] TAFs are components of the transcription factor IID (TFIID) complex, PCAF histone acetylase complex and TBP-free TAFII complex (TFTC). TIIFD is multimeric protein complex that plays a central role in mediating promoter responses to various activators and repressors. Publication Abstract from PubMedTFIID is a cornerstone of eukaryotic gene regulation. Distinct TFIID complexes with unique subunit compositions exist and several TFIID subunits are shared with other complexes, thereby conveying precise cellular control of subunit allocation and functional assembly of this essential transcription factor. However, the molecular mechanisms that underlie the regulation of TFIID remain poorly understood. Here we use quantitative proteomics to examine TFIID submodules and assembly mechanisms in human cells. Structural and mutational analysis of the cytoplasmic TAF5-TAF6-TAF9 submodule identified novel interactions that are crucial for TFIID integrity and for allocation of TAF9 to TFIID or the Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase (SAGA) co-activator complex. We discover a key checkpoint function for the chaperonin CCT, which specifically associates with nascent TAF5 for subsequent handover to TAF6-TAF9 and ultimate holo-TFIID formation. Our findings illustrate at the molecular level how multisubunit complexes are generated within the cell via mechanisms that involve checkpoint decisions facilitated by a chaperone.
