Transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 12 (TBP-associated factor 12) (TBP-associated factor 61 kDa) (TAFII-61) (TAFII61) (TAFII- 68) (TAFII68); Functions as a component of the DNA-binding general transcription factor complex TFIID and the transcription regulatory histone acetylation (HAT) complexes SAGA, SALSA and SLIK. Binding of TFIID to a promoter (with or without TATA element) is the initial step in preinitiation complex (PIC) formation. TFIID plays a key role in the regulation of gene expression by RNA polymerase II through different activities such as transcription activat [...] (539 aa)
