| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | General transcription factor that functions at the core of the DNA-binding multiprotein factor TFIID (PubMed:2374612, PubMed:2363050, PubMed:2194289, PubMed:9836642, PubMed:27193682). Binding of TFIID to the TATA box is the initial transcriptional step of the pre-initiation complex (PIC), playing a role in the activation of eukaryotic genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II (PubMed:2374612, PubMed:2363050, PubMed:2194289, PubMed:9836642, PubMed:27193682). Component of a BRF2-containing transcription factor complex that regulates transcription mediated by RNA polymerase III (PubMed:26638071). Component of the transcription factor SL1/TIF-IB complex, which is involved in the assembly of the PIC (pre-initiation complex) during RNA polymerase I-dependent transcription (PubMed:15970593). The rate of PIC formation probably is primarily dependent on the rate of association of SL1 with the rDNA promoter. SL1 is involved in stabilization of nucleolar transcription factor 1/UBTF on rDNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15970593, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2194289, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2363050, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2374612, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26638071, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27193682, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9836642, ECO:0000305}. | |

Component of the transcription factor SL1/TIF-IB complex, composed of TBP and at least TAF1A, TAF1B, TAF1C and TAF1D (PubMed:7801123). Association of TBP to form either TFIID or SL1/TIF-IB appears to be mutually exclusive (PubMed:7801123). Interacts with TAF1A, TAF1B and TAF1C (PubMed:7801123).

Interacts with UTF1 (PubMed:9748258). Interacts with BRF2; this interaction promotes recruitment of BRF2 to TATA box- containing promoters (PubMed:11564744, PubMed:26638071). Interacts with UBTF (PubMed:7982918). Interacts with GPBP1 (By similarity). Interacts with CITED2 (By similarity). Interacts with ATF7IP (Probable). Interacts with LLPH (By similarity). Interacts with HSF1 (via transactivation domain) (PubMed:11005381). Interacts with GTF2B (via C- terminus); this interaction with promoter-bound TBP guides RNA polymerase II into the pre-initiation complex (PIC) (PubMed:8504927). Interacts with PAX5 (PubMed:10197586). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29037, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10196196, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10197586, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10391676, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10567404, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10619841, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11005381, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11438666, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11461703, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11564744, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12217962, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12621023, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19106100, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26638071, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7608968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7801123, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7982918, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8504927, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8643494, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8757291, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9748258, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9836642}. | |

| Polymorphism: | The poly-Gln region of TBP is highly polymorphic (25 to 42 repeats) in normal individuals and is expanded to about 47-63 repeats in spinocerebellar ataxia 17 (SCA17) patients. | |
| Disease: | Spinocerebellar ataxia 17 (SCA17) [MIM:607136]: Spinocerebellar ataxia is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar disorders. Patients show progressive incoordination of gait and often poor coordination of hands, speech and eye movements, due to degeneration of the cerebellum with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord. SCA17 is an autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA) characterized by widespread cerebral and cerebellar atrophy, dementia and extrapyramidal signs. The molecular defect in SCA17 is the expansion of a CAG repeat in the coding region of TBP. Longer expansions result in earlier onset and more severe clinical manifestations of the disease. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11313753, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11448935, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11939898}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the TBP family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
