Summary
TAF5 (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 5, HGNC:11539) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q24.33, encoding Transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 5 (Q15542). The TFIID basal transcription factor complex plays a major role in the initiation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 92.5% of cancer 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 an integral subunit of TFIID associated with all transcriptionally competent forms of that complex. This subunit interacts strongly with two TFIID subunits that show similarity to histones H3 and H4, and it may participate in forming a nucleosome-like core in the TFIID complex. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

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. TAF5 is involved in two modules of TFIID, in TFIID-A together with TAF3 and TBP, and in TFIID-B with TAF8. Involved in contacts between TFIID and TFIIF in the PIC.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. 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. The TFIID complex structure can be divided into 3 modules TFIID-A, TFIID-B, and TFIID-C. TAF5 forms the TFIID-A module together with TAF3 and TBP, and in TFIID-B with TAF8. Component of the TFTC-HAT complex, at least composed of TAF5L, TAF6L, TADA3L, SUPT3H/SPT3, TAF2, TAF4, TAF5, GCN5L2/GCN5, TAF10 and TRRAP. TBP is not part of the TFTC-HAT complex. Interacts strongly with the histone H4-related TAF6 and the histone H3-related TAF9, as well as a stable complex comprised of both TAF6 and TAF9. Apparently weaker interactions with TBP, TAF1, TAF11, and TAF12, but not TAF7, also have been observed. (Microbial infection) Interacts with SV40 Large T antigen.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Domain organisation. Distinct domains of TAF5/TAFII100 are required for functional interaction with transcription factor TFIIFB (RAP30) and incorporation into the TFIID complex.
Similarity. Belongs to the WD repeat TAF5 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 98 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.
