TAF13

Also known as TAFII18
Summary
TAF13 (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 13, HGNC:11546) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p13.3, encoding Transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 13 (Q15543). The TFIID basal transcription factor complex plays a major role in the initiation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 35.2% of cell lines).
Initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase II requires the activities of more than 70 polypeptides. The protein that coordinates these activities is transcription factor IID (TFIID), which binds to the core promoter to position the polymerase properly, serves as the scaffold for assembly of the remainder of the transcription complex, and acts as a channel for regulatory signals. TFIID is composed of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and a group of evolutionarily conserved proteins known as TBP-associated factors or TAFs. TAFs may participate in basal transcription, serve as coactivators, function in promoter recognition or modify general transcription factors (GTFs) to facilitate complex assembly and transcription initiation. This gene encodes a small subunit associated with a subset of TFIID complexes. This subunit interacts with TBP and with two other small subunits of TFIID, TAF10 and TAF11. There is a pseudogene located on chromosome 6.

Function. The TFIID basal transcription factor complex plays a major role in the initiation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription. TFIID recognizes and binds promoters via its subunit TBP, a TATA-box-binding protein, and promotes assembly of the pre-initiation complex (PIC). 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. TAF13, together with TAF11 and TBP, play key roles during promoter binding by the TFIID and TFIIA transcription factor complexes.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the TFIID basal transcription factor complex, composed of TATA-box-binding protein TBP, and a number of TBP-associated factors (TAFs), including TAF1, TAF2, TAF3, TAF4, TAF5, TAF6, TAF7, TAF8, TAF9, TAF10, TAF11, TAF12 and TAF13. Interacts with TBP, and more strongly with TAF10 and TAF11.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Disease relevance. Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal recessive 60 (MRT60) [MIM:617432] A disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRT60 patients display mild intellectual disability, delayed psychomotor development, learning difficulties, and poor overall growth with variable microcephaly. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The binding of TAF10 and TAF11 requires distinct domains of TAF13.
Similarity. Belongs to the TAF13 family.
