UniProt functional annotation for P52655

UniProt code: P52655.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: TFIIA is a component of the transcription machinery of RNA polymerase II and plays an important role in transcriptional activation. TFIIA in a complex with TBP mediates transcriptional activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11030333, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16537915}.
 
Subunit: TFIIA is a heterodimer of the large unprocessed subunit 1 and a small subunit gamma. It was originally believed to be a heterotrimer of an alpha (p35), a beta (p19) and a gamma subunit (p12). TFIIA forms a complex with TBP. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11030333}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Ptm: The alpha and beta subunits are postranslationally produced from the precursor form by TASP1. The cleavage promotes proteasomal degradation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16537915}.
Similarity: Belongs to the TFIIA subunit 1 family. {ECO:0000305}.
