    Summary
    This gene encodes a member of the TET family of RNA-binding proteins. The encoded protein plays a role in RNA polymerase II gene transcription as a component of a distinct subset of multi-subunit transcription initiation factor TFIID complexes. Translocations involving this gene play a role in acute leukemia and extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, and mutations in this gene may play a role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

    Tat tat TAF15 RNA polymerase II, TATA box binding protein (TBP)-associated factor, 68kDa (TAF15) is identified to interact with HIV-1 Tat mutant Nullbasic in HeLa cells by LC MS/MS PubMed
    tat HIV-1 Tat binds, through amino acids 36-50, directly to the TBP subunit of the TFIID holoenzyme complex (which includes at least TFIID subunits p250, p125, p70, TBP, and p30), and increases the interaction of TFIID with the HIV-1 LTR promoter PubMed
    tat Interaction of TFIID with the HIV-1 LTR, and therefore presumably HIV-1 Tat protein, is primarily dependent on the LTR TATA element and may also be stabilized or regulated by flanking E box motifs and basic helix-loop-helix proteins such as AP-4 and E47 PubMed
    tat A novel function of LBP-1, restricting HIV-1 transcription at the level of elongation by preventing the binding of TFIID to the promoter, is suppressed by HIV-1 Tat, indicating Tat helps recruit TFIID to the HIV-1 LTR PubMed
    tat TATA binding protein (TBP)-associated factors (TAFs) in the TFIID complex are required for activation by transcription factors, but are dispensable for HIV-1 Tat LTR transactivation function PubMed
    tat HIV-1 Tat stabilizes the interaction of TFIIA with TFIID, and TFIIA and TFIID are required to reconstitute Tat-specific and TAR-dependent activation of HIV transcription in vitro PubMed

    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.
