General transcription factor complex TFIID Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.

Summary
General transcription factor complex that acts as the primary core promoter recognition factor in the initiation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription. The TBP subunit of TFIID recognizes and binds to the TATA box (if present), while TAF1 and TAF2 interact with the Initiator element (Inr), and TAF1 and the TAF6-TAF9 module recognizes the downstream core promoter element (DPE). Other core promoter elements, such as the motif ten element (MTE), may also be involved. Binding of the general transcription factor complex TFIIA (CPX-1633) enhances binding of TFIID to the core promoter and nucleates pre-initiation complex (PIC) assembly. Following recruitment of TFIIA to TFIID, TFIIB, TFIIF, Pol II, TFIIE (CPX-1658) and TFIIH are successively assembled at the core promoter, allowing the PIC to initiate Pol II transcription.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.

Biological Process

Manually curated GO annotations reflect our best understanding of the basic biological process for this protein complex. Manually curated annotations are assigned by curators based on published papers when available, or by curatorial statements if necessary. Curators periodically review all manually curated GO annotations for accuracy and completeness.

Shared Annotations

This diagram displays Gene Ontology terms (green) that are shared between the given macromolecular complex (black) and other yeast complexes (yellow). Note: No diagram is shown ("No shared annotations") if there are less than 2 shared GO annotations between this complex and any other complexes.
