Also known as TFIIE-BFETF2E2
Summary
GTF2E2 (general transcription factor IIE subunit 2, HGNC:4651) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p12, encoding Transcription initiation factor IIE subunit beta (P29084). Recruits TFIIH to the initiation complex and stimulates the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain kinase and DNA-dependent ATPase activities of TFIIH. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.3% of cancer cell lines).
The general transcription factor IIE (TFIIE) is part of the RNA polymerase II transcription initiation complex, recruiting TFIIH and being essential for promoter clearance by RNA polymerase II. TFIIE is a heterodimer (and sometimes heterotetramer) of alpha and beta subunits. The protein encoded by this gene represents the beta subunit of TFIIE.

Function. Recruits TFIIH to the initiation complex and stimulates the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain kinase and DNA-dependent ATPase activities of TFIIH. Both TFIIH and TFIIE are required for promoter clearance by RNA polymerase.
Subunit / interactions. Tetramer of two alpha and two beta chains. Interacts with FACT subunit SUPT16H. Interacts with ATF7IP. Interacts with SND1. Part of TBP-based Pol II pre-initiation complex (PIC), in which Pol II core assembles with general transcription factors and other specific initiation factors including GTF2E1, GTF2E2, GTF2F1, GTF2F2, TCEA1, ERCC2, ERCC3, GTF2H2, GTF2H3, GTF2H4, GTF2H5, GTF2A1, GTF2A2, GTF2B and TBP; this large multi-subunit PIC complex mediates DNA unwinding and targets Pol II core to the transcription start site where the first phosphodiester bond forms.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Disease relevance. Trichothiodystrophy 6, non-photosensitive (TTD6) [MIM:616943] A form of trichothiodystrophy, a disease characterized by sulfur-deficient brittle hair and multisystem variable abnormalities. The spectrum of clinical features varies from mild disease with only hair involvement to severe disease with cutaneous, neurologic and profound developmental defects. Ichthyosis, intellectual and developmental disabilities, decreased fertility, abnormal characteristics at birth, ocular abnormalities, short stature, and infections are common manifestations. There are both photosensitive and non-photosensitive forms of the disorder. TTD6 patients do not manifest cutaneous photosensitivity. Inheritance pattern has been reported to be autosomal recessive. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the TFIIE beta subunit family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 40 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
