Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and molecular adaptor activity. Involved in RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex assembly; chromatin organization; and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription initiation. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Part of SAGA complex; SLIK (SAGA-like) complex; and transcription factor TFIID complex. Orthologous to several human genes including TAF6 (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 6).

What's a GeneRIF?

Results indicate that HEAT domain and the histone H4-like histone-fold domain (HFD) in TAF6 are required for transcriptional activation.
Title: Mutational analysis of TAF6 revealed the essential requirement of the histone-fold domain and the HEAT repeat domain for transcriptional activation.
