TAF6 (NM_005641) - TATA-box binding protein associated factor 6

Transcription Initiation Factor Tfiid Subunit 6 Isoform Alpha

PTM Interaction Network Visualisation
The PTM Interaction Network provides visualization of all PTMs which mediate an interaction between your protein of interest and protein kinases. Each PTM is visualized as a different colour box listing the mutation location and the surrounding amino acid sequence. These PTMs originate from your protein of interest (circle with a dark border) which links it to a kinase (circle with thick border). The colour of the circles corresponds to the number of mutations occurring in the kinase with white being none, and dark blue being a normalized maximum. See figure legend for additional details.

Zooming in/out
If there is a specific PTM you are interested in, you can click on it to zoom onto it and the kinases it has been associated with. Alternatively you can click the magnifying glass icons on the top right of the PTM Interaction Network Visualisation window.

Saving the image
The Interaction Network image can be saved in an SVG or PDF formats by clicking on the “Save image as” button on the top right of the PTM Interaction Network Visualization window.

Protein summary
The protein summary provides brief information regarding your protein, namely: its full name, a brief description of its function, and genomic location of the coding gene.

TAF6: transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 6 isoform alpha
Description:

Initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase II requires the activities of more than 70 polypeptides. The protein that coordinates these activities is transcription factor IID (TFIID), which binds to the core promoter to position the polymerase properly, serves as the scaffold for assembly of the remainder of the transcription complex, and acts as a channel for regulatory signals. TFIID is composed of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and a group of evolutionarily conserved proteins known as TBP-associated factors or TAFs. TAFs may participate in basal transcription, serve as coactivators, function in promoter recognition or modify general transcription factors (GTFs) to facilitate complex assembly and transcription initiation. This gene encodes one of the smaller subunits of TFIID that binds weakly to TBP but strongly to TAF1, the largest subunit of TFIID. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
