What's a GeneRIF?

The mouse D144G substitution is analogous to a missense mutation (D136G) in the X-linked TAF7L gene identified in oligozoospermic men. Although the D144G substitution in mouse does not affect male fertility, RNA-seq analyses revealed alterations in transcriptome profiles in the Taf7l (D144G) mutant testes.

Taf7l (Taf2q) is a gene that is expressed in testis that was identified in a genome-wide cDNA subtraction screen.
Title: An abundance of X-linked genes expressed in spermatogonia.
Genes expressed in germ cells, like Taf7l (Taf2q), are subject to meiotic sex-chromosome inactivation (MSCI) during spermatogenesis.

Suggest that TAF7L plays an integral role in adipocyte gene expression by targeting enhancers as a cofactor for PPARgamma and promoters as a component of the core transcriptional machinery.

the presence of the tissue-specific TAF7L subunit in TFIID functions to promote long-range chromatin interactions during brown adipose tissue lineage specification
Title: TAF7L modulates brown adipose tissue formation.
TAF7L associates with TRF2 both in vitro and in testis, suggesting that TAF7L likely cooperates directly with TRF2 at promoters of a subset of postmeiotic genes to regulate spermiogenesis.

While spermatogenesis was completed in Taf7l(-/Y) mice, the weight of Taf7l(-/Y) testis decreased. Mutant epididymal sperm exhibited abnormal morphology. Sperm motility was significantly reduced, and Taf7l(-/Y) males were fertile with reduced litter size.

TAF7L replaces TAF7 as a TFIID subunit in late pachytene spermatocytes and in haploid cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
