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 protein that is a
component of the PCAF histone acetylase complex and structurally
similar to one of the histone-like TAFs, TAF6. The PCAF histone
acetylase complex, which is composed of more than 20 polypeptides
some of which are TAFs, is required for myogenic transcription and
differentiation.1) Clarke, D.L., et al. J. Immunol. 181(5):3503-3514(2008)
