{"doi":"10.7554/elife.30395","title":"Architecture of TAF11/TAF13/TBP complex suggests novel regulation properties of general transcription factor TFIID","abstract":"<jats:p>General transcription factor TFIID is a key component of RNA polymerase II transcription initiation. Human TFIID is a megadalton-sized complex comprising TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs). TBP binds to core promoter DNA, recognizing the TATA-box. We identified a ternary complex formed by TBP and the histone fold (HF) domain-containing TFIID subunits TAF11 and TAF13. We demonstrate that TAF11/TAF13 competes for TBP binding with TATA-box DNA, and also with the N-terminal domain of TAF1 previously implicated in TATA-box mimicry. In an integrative approach combining crystal coordinates, biochemical analyses and data from cross-linking mass-spectrometry (CLMS), we determine the architecture of the TAF11/TAF13/TBP complex, revealing TAF11/TAF13 interaction with the DNA binding surface of TBP. We identify a highly conserved C-terminal TBP-interaction domain (CTID) in TAF13, which is essential for supporting cell growth. Our results thus have implications for cellular TFIID assembly and suggest a novel regulatory state for TFIID function.</jats:p>","journal":"eLife","year":2017,"id":31475,"datarank":1.6253535542864177,"base_score":3.8501476017100584,"endowment":3.8501476017100584,"self_citation_contribution":0.5775221402565088,"citation_network_contribution":1.047831414029909,"self_endowment_contribution":0.5775221402565088,"citer_contribution":1.047831414029909,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":46,"citer_count":36,"citers_with_citation_signal":28,"citers_with_endowment":28,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":null,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":false,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":null,"fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":168632,"name":"Aleksandra
