UniProt functional annotation for P35269

UniProt code: P35269.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: TFIIF is a general transcription initiation factor that binds to RNA polymerase II and helps to recruit it to the initiation complex in collaboration with TFIIB. It promotes transcription elongation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10428810}.
 
Subunit: Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Interacts with GTF2F2, CTDP1, TAF6/TAFII80 and URI1. Interacts with GTF2B (via C- terminus and preferentially via acetylated form); this interaction prevents binding of GTF2B to GTF2F2 (PubMed:8662660, PubMed:12931194). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11183778, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12591941, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12737519, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12931194, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7667268, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8662660}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Induction: Up-regulated in response to enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16548883}.
Ptm: Phosphorylated on Ser and other residues by TAF1 and casein kinase II-like kinases. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10428810, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8625415}.
Similarity: Belongs to the TFIIF alpha subunit family. {ECO:0000305}.
