Summary
GTF3C1 (general transcription factor IIIC subunit 1, HGNC:4664) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16p12.1, encoding General transcription factor 3C polypeptide 1 (Q12789). Required for RNA polymerase III-mediated transcription. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 85.4% of cell lines).
Enables RNA polymerase III general transcription initiation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in 5S class rRNA transcription by RNA polymerase III and transcription initiation at RNA polymerase III promoter. Located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Part of transcription factor TFIIIC complex.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 8)
- The partial purification of pol III transcription factors from PE and EC cells revealed that TFIIIC2 activity could be purified from both cell types, whereas TFIIIC1 activity was dramatically reduced in extracts from PE cells. (PMID:11741993)
- TFIIIC is composed of six subunits, five of which are conserved in humans. We report the identification, molecular cloning, and characterization of the sixth subunit of human TFIIIC, TFIIIC35 (PMID:17409385)
- Results identify TFIIIC as a recruitment factor for p300 and thus may have important implications for the emerging concept that tRNA genes or TFIIIC binding sites act as chromatin barriers to prohibit spreading of silenced heterochromatin domains. (PMID:18644873)
- Maf1, a repressor that binds and inhibits pol III, is phosphorylated in a mTOR-dependent manner both in vitro and in vivo at serine 75, a site that contributes to its function as a transcriptional inhibitor. (PMID:20543138)
- These findings reveal a novel and essential regulatory function of both SINEs and TFIIIC in mediating gene relocation and transcription (PMID:23966877)
- TFIIIC as a Potential Epigenetic Modulator of Histone Acetylation in Human Stem Cells. (PMID:36835038)
- The Conserved Chromatin Remodeler SMARCAD1 Interacts with TFIIIC and Architectural Proteins in Human and Mouse. (PMID:37761933)

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 248 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.
