Summary
TAF3 (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 3, HGNC:17303) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10p14, encoding Transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 3 (Q5VWG9). The TFIID basal transcription factor complex plays a major role in the initiation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription.
The highly conserved RNA polymerase II transcription factor TFIID (see TAF1; MIM 313650) comprises the TATA box-binding protein (TBP; MIM 600075) and a set of TBP-associated factors (TAFs), including TAF3. TAFs contribute to promoter recognition and selectivity and act as antiapoptotic factors (Gangloff et al., 2001 [PubMed 11438666]).

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 4)
- Data identified TAF3 as an evolutionarily conserved negative regulator of p53 transcription activation function. (PMID:18549481)
- Study shows that this TAF3 activity is critical for early lineage segregation during stem cell differentiation. (PMID:21884934)
- Study shows that H3K4me3-TAF3 interactions direct global TFIID recruitment to active genes, some of which are p53 targets. Further analyses show that H3K4me3 enhances p53-dependent transcription by stimulating preinitiation complex formation. (PMID:23452851)
- Data show that transcription cofactor TAF3 is required for transcription of the alpha spectrin SPTA1 gene. (PMID:23935956)

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 with or without a TATA box 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. The TFIID complex structure can be divided into 3 modules TFIID-A, TFIID-B, and TFIID-C. TAF3 forms the TFIID-A module together with TAF5 and TBP. Required in complex with TBPL2 for the differentiation of myoblasts into myocytes. The TAF3-TBPL2 complex replaces TFIID at specific promoters at an early stage in the differentiation process.
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 TAF10 via the histone fold. Interacts with TAF13, TBP, SAP130 and GCN5L2. Interacts with TBPL2.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Domain organisation. The PHD-type zinc finger mediates binding to histone H3 methyllysine at position 4 (H3K4me3).
Similarity. Belongs to the TAF3 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 49 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.
