Descriptions

Template-activating factor I (TAF-I) is a multifunctional protein that plays a role in apoptosis, transcription, nucleosome assembly, and histone chaperoning. In human and murine cells, two TAF-I subtypes exist, namely TAF-Iɑ and TAF-Iβ. In comparison to the histone chaperone activity of TAF-Iβ, TAF-Iɑ exhibits reduced histone chaperone activity due to the N-terminal region of TAF-Iɑ autoinhibiting its activity via intramolecular interaction with its C-terminal region. The replacement of basic amino acids within the N-terminal region with alanines disrupts the intramolecular interactions between the N- and C-terminal regions, enhancing the histone chaperone activity to a similar extent to that of TAF-Iβ.

Functions

Description
EC Number
Subcellular Localization
  • Cytoplasm, cytosol
  • Endoplasmic reticulum
  • Nucleus, nucleoplasm
  • In the cytoplasm, found both in the cytosol and associated with the endoplasmic reticulum
  • The SET complex is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum
  • Following CTL attack and cleavage by GZMA, moves rapidly to the nucleus, where it is found in the nucleoplasm, avoiding the nucleolus
  • Similar translocation to the nucleus is also observed for lymphocyte-activated killer cells after the addition of calcium (By similarity)

9 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
chromatin The ordered and organized complex of DNA, protein, and sometimes RNA, that forms the chromosome.
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
endoplasmic reticulum The irregular network of unit membranes, visible only by electron microscopy, that occurs in the cytoplasm of many eukaryotic cells. The membranes form a complex meshwork of tubular channels, which are often expanded into slitlike cavities called cisternae. The ER takes two forms, rough (or granular), with ribosomes adhering to the outer surface, and smooth (with no ribosomes attached).
lipid droplet An intracellular non-membrane-bounded organelle comprising a matrix of coalesced lipids surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer. May include associated proteins.
nucleoplasm That part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus.
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
perinuclear region of cytoplasm Cytoplasm situated near, or occurring around, the nucleus.
protein-containing complex A stable assembly of two or more macromolecules, i.e. proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids, in which at least one component is a protein and the constituent parts function together.

3 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
chromatin binding Binding to chromatin, the network of fibers of DNA, protein, and sometimes RNA, that make up the chromosomes of the eukaryotic nucleus during interphase.
DNA binding Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
histone binding Binding to a histone, any of a group of water-soluble proteins found in association with the DNA of eukaryotic or archaeal chromosomes. They are involved in the condensation and coiling of chromosomes during cell division and have also been implicated in gene regulation and DNA replication. They may be chemically modified (methylated, acetlyated and others) to regulate gene transcription.

2 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptotic process in neurons.
nucleosome assembly The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a nucleosome, the beadlike structural units of eukaryotic chromatin composed of histones and DNA.
