    motifs/domains
  • five Myb-like binding domains
  • an unusual Myb DNA binding domain consisting of four complete repeats (Ra to Rd) and a half repeat (Rh)
  • SWI3, ADA2, N-COR and TF3B DNA binding domains
  • arginine and serine rich regions
  • a C terminal leucine zipper-like motif, and C-terminal half of SNAPC4 can interact with DNA-bound transcription activator POU2F1
  • mono polymer complex

    basic FUNCTION
  • required for both RNA polymerase II and III transcription of snRNA (Small nuclear RNA)
  • initiating basal levels of transcription
  • involved in direct recognition of the proximal sequence elements and is a target for the POU2F1 activator
  • forms the backbone of the complex and binds three of the four remaining subunits through two main regions as follows : a region within the N-terminal third binds SNAPC5 and SNAPC1, whereas a region close to the C terminus of the protein binds SNAPC2 (SNAPC3 joins the complex through contacts with SNAPC1)
  • SNAPC4 occupancy peaked prior to the transcription start site, where it could contribute to the recruitment of the general transcription machinery
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
