| UniProt functional annotation for P40992 | |||
| UniProt code: P40992. |
| Organism: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. | |
| Function: | Component of RNA polymerase I core factor complex (CF) that acts as a SUA7/TFIIB-like factor and plays a key role in multiple steps during transcription initiation such as pre-initiation complex (PIC) assembly and postpolymerase recruitment events in polymerase I (Pol I) transcription. Binds rDNA promoters and plays a role in Pol I recruitment. After binding of UAF (upstream activation factor) to an upstream element of the promoter, CF is recruited in a SPT15/TBP- dependent manner to form a pre-initiation complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21921198, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21940764, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8887672}. | |
| Subunit: | Component of the core factor (CF) complex, which consists of RRN6, RRN7 and RRN11. The CF heterotrimer may further dimerize to form a hexamer. RRN7 interacts with RRN6, RRN11, SPT15 and RRN9. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7958901, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8702872, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8895657}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095}. | |
| Domain: | Although it shares weak sequence similarity with SUA7/TFIIB, displays a similar subdomain organization as SUA7/TFIIB, with a N- terminal zinc finger, a connecting region (composed of B-reader and B- linker regions), followed by 2 cyclin folds. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21921198}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Present with 398 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the RRN7/TAF1B family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
