Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION The TFIID basal transcription factor complex plays a major role in the initiation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription (PubMed:33795473). TFIID recognizes and binds promoters with or without a TATA box via its subunit TBP, a TATA-box-binding protein, and promotes assembly of the pre-initiation complex (PIC) (PubMed:33795473). The TFIID complex consists of TBP and TBP-associated factors (TAFs), including TAF1, TAF2, TAF3, TAF4, TAF5, TAF6, TAF7, TAF8, TAF9, TAF10, TAF11, TAF12 and TAF13 (PubMed:33795473). TAF10 is also component of the PCAF histone acetylase complex, the TATA-binding protein-free TAF complex (TFTC) and the STAGA transcription coactivator-HAT complex (PubMed:10373431, PubMed:11564863, PubMed:12601814, PubMed:18206972, PubMed:9885574). May regulate cyclin E expression (By similarity).SUBUNIT Component of the TFIID basal transcription factor complex, composed of TATA-box-binding protein TBP, and a number of TBP-associated factors (TAFs), including TAF1, TAF2, TAF3, TAF4, TAF5, TAF6, TAF7, TAF8, TAF9, TAF10, TAF11, TAF12 and TAF13 (PubMed:33795473). Component of the TATA-binding protein-free TAF complex (TFTC), the PCAF histone acetylase complex and the STAGA transcription coactivator-HAT complex (PubMed:10373431, PubMed:11564863, PubMed:12601814, PubMed:18206972, PubMed:9885574). The PCAF complex consists at least of TADA2L/ADA2, TADA3L/ADA3, SUPT3H, TAF5L TAF6L, TAF9, TAF10, TAF12 and TRRAP (PubMed:9885574). The TFTC-HAT complex consists at least of TAF5L, TAF6L, TADA3L, SUPT3H, TAF2, TAF4, TAF5, GCN5L2/GCN5, TAF10 and TRRAP (PubMed:10373431, PubMed:12601814). The STAGA transcription coactivator-HAT complex consists at least of SUPT3H, GCN5L2, TAF5L, TAF6L, SUPT7L, TADA3L, TAD1L, TAF10, TAF12, TRRAP and TAF9 (PubMed:11564863, PubMed:18206972). The STAGA core complex is associated with a subcomplex required for histone deubiquitination composed of ATXN7L3, ENY2 and USP22 (PubMed:18206972). Interacts with TAF3 (PubMed:11438666). Interacts with LOXL2 (PubMed:25959397). Interacts with TAF12 isoform TAFII20; the interaction is direct (PubMed:7729427).INTERACTION The [KR]-[STA]-K motif is specifically recognized by the SETD7 methyltransferase.PTM Monomethylated at Lys-189 by SETD7, leading to increased affinity for RNA polymerase II.PTM Lysine deamination at Lys-189 to form allysine is mediated by LOXL2. Allysine formation by LOXL2 results in release of TAF10 from promoters, leading to inhibition of TFIID-dependent transcription.SIMILARITY Belongs to the TAF10 family.
