    basic FUNCTION
  • inhibiting TBP-driven RNA polymerase II and III transcription
  • removing TBP from DNA (TATA box) in an ATP-dependent manner
  • ATP-dependent helicase regulating TBP function on POLII promoters in cells
  • Swi2/Snf2 enzyme that specifically displaces TBP from the promoter DNA and regulates transcription globally by generating a highly dynamic TBP pool in the cell
  • TBP, BTAF1, and DR1 establish a regulatory circuit that controls downstream core promoter element-dependent versus TATA-dependent transcription b
  • negatively regulates TBP and DR1 binding to active promoters
  • not only displaces TBP, but blocks its hydrophobic surface patch to prevent interactions with DNA or other factors that bind to the concave surface
    • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • component of the B-TFIID complex with TBP
    • INTERACTION
    DNA binding
    RNA
    small molecule nucleotide,
  • ATP
    • protein
  • binding to TBP
  • action of BTAF1 is required to clear TBP from intrinsically preferred (TATA-containing) binding sites, ensuring sufficient soluble TBP to bind intrinsically disfavored (TATA-less) sites
  • TBP-DNA affinity as well as other aspects of promoter sequence influence BTAF1 function
  • lifetime of TBP at the promoter site is controlled by several cofactors including the Modifier of transcription 1 (BTAF1)
  • O-GlcNAcylation at T114 of TBP blocks its interaction with BTAF1, hence the formation of the B-TFIID complex, and its dynamic cycling on and off of DNA
