	intracellular,nucleus,nucleoplasm

basic FUNCTION	involved in the initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase 2
	initiation of transcription for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) by RNA polymerase I requires TBP and TBP-associated factors (TAF1A, TAF1B and TAF1C)
	TAF1A functions in recruitment of RNA polymerase I to ribosomal DNA promoters, the essential first step in ribosome biogenesis

CELLULAR PROCESS

nucleotide, transcription

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

component of SL1 (complex composed of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and three TBP-associated factors (TAFs) specific for RNA polymerase I), general transcription factor associated with POLR1, synthesis of 45S RNA precursors

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacts with helix 2 of TBP
	TBP loading by AFF1 through TAF1A, TAF1B, TAF1C is the major rate-limiting step in MLL fusion-dependent transcription
