Disease relevance of TAF14

 

High impact information on TAF14

  • The yeast protein also contains a third subunit, Tfg3, which is less tightly associated and at most stimulatory to transcription, dispensable for cell viability, and has no known counterpart in mammalian TFIIF [2].
  • Importantly, we find that the luminal C-terminal domain of SUN1 interacts with the mammalian ANC-1 homologs nesprins 1 and 2 via their conserved KASH domain [3].
  • In addition to the pol II subunits, the complex was found to contain three subunits of a transcription factor TFIIF (TFIIF alpha, TFIIF beta, and Tfg3) and TFIIF-interacting CTD-phosphatase Fcp1 [4].
  • TFG3 interacted with the SNF5 component of the SWI/SNF complex in protein interaction blots [5].
  • KASH domains are conserved in the nuclear envelope proteins Syne/nesprins, Klarsicht, MSP-300, and ANC-1 [6].
 

Biological context of TAF14

  • Morphological abnormalities exhibited by anc1 mutants include failure to form a mating projection in response to alpha-factor and development of swollen or elongated cell shapes during proliferation [7].
  • These phenotypes demonstrate that Anc1p is important for actin function and for the functions of other proteins involved in morphogenesis [7].
  • Mutations in the ANC1 gene were shown to cause osmosensitivity and defects in actin organization; phenotypes that are similar to those caused by act1 mutations [8].
  • The Anc1 protein co-purifies with general transcription factors, chromatin remodeling complexes, and histone modification enzymes and is required for efficient transcription in yeast [9].
  • Anc1 interacts with the catalytic subunits of the general transcription factors TFIID and TFIIF, the chromatin remodeling complexes RSC and INO80, and the histone acetyltransferase complex NuA3 [9].
 

Anatomical context of TAF14

  • In further support of these roles for Anc1p, the anc1 delta 1::HIS3 mutation was found to be synthetically lethal in combination with a null mutation in SLA1, a gene that is important for membrane cytoskeleton function [7].
 

Associations of TAF14 with chemical compounds

  • We show that Anc1 is required for growth on galactose as the sole carbon source, and that it is recruited to the UAS of the GAL1 gene after induction [9].
  • The yeast mitochondrial adenine nucleotide carrier isoform encoded by the ANC2 gene has been specifically expressed in a yeast strain disrupted for the two other genes, ANC1 and ANC3 [10].
 

Physical interactions of TAF14

  • The interaction of recombinant Tfg3 with TATA-binding protein (TBP), the central subunit of TFIID, was temperature-dependent [11].
 

Regulatory relationships of TAF14

 

Other interactions of TAF14

  • In addition, mutant alleles of four ANC genes (ANC1, ANC2, ANC3 and ANC4) were tested for interactions with null alleles of actin-binding protein genes [13].
  • We identify ANC1 as the target of CDC40 regulation [12].
  • The 14 extragenic noncomplementing mutations represent alleles of at least four different genes, ANC1, ANC2, ANC3 and ANC4 (Actin NonComplementing) [8].
