High impact information on bip2

TFIID has been extensively characterized for yeast, Drosophila, and humans, demonstrating a high degree of conservation of both the amino acid sequences of the constituent TAF(II)s and overall molecular organization [1].
BIP2 is a novel Drosophila TATA-box Protein Associated Factor (TAF(II)), also named dTAF(II)155 [2].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of bip2

We have cloned a novel mouse protein, TAF(II)140, containing an HFD and a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, which we demonstrated by immunoprecipitation to be a mammalian TFIID component [1].
