UniProt functional annotation for P41895

UniProt code: P41895.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: TFIIF is a general transcription initiation factor that binds to RNA polymerase II. Its functions include the recruitment of RNA polymerase II to the promoter bound DNA-TBP-TFIIB complex, decreasing the affinity of RNA polymerase II for non-specific DNA, allowing for the subsequent recruitment of TFIIE and TFIIH, and facilitating RNA polymerase II elongation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1331085}.
 
Subunit: TFIIF is composed of three different subunits: TFG1/RAP74, TFG2/RAP30 and TAF14.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Ptm: Phosphorylated on Ser and other residues by TAF1 and casein kinase II-like kinases. {ECO:0000250}.
Miscellaneous: Present with 1920 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the TFIIF alpha subunit family. {ECO:0000305}.
