High impact information on TFIIDtau

  • Transcription factor IIIA interacts specifically with an internal control region of Xenopus 5S ribosomal RNA genes and is also a component, along with 5S rRNA, of a 7S ribonucleoprotein particle present in previtellogenic oocytes [1].
  • While TBP is ubiquitously expressed, TLF expression is strictly developmentally regulated, being very high in late pachytene spermatocytes, suggesting a function prior to the apoptosis of the haploid cells [2].
  • Transcription factor IIIA, the internal control region of the 5 S RNA gene and specific DNA sequences 5' and 3' of the internal control region are all involved in the formation of a multiprotein complex [3].
  • Point mutations 5' to the tRNA selenocysteine TATA box alter RNA polymerase III transcription by affecting the binding of TBP [4].
  • Transcription factor IIIA of Xenopuslaevis serves a dual function during oogenesis and early development: this zinc finger protein binds to the internal promoter element of the 5 S ribosomal RNA genes and acts as a positive transcription factor; additionally, the protein functions in 5 S RNA storage [5].
