DNA/RNA

Description

spans 37kb; 16 exons

Transcription

2.2 bp mRNA; alternative splicing: two isoforms of cDNAs consisting of 2144 and 2153 bp; coding sequence 1778 bp

Proteins

Description

589 and 592 amino acid, 62 kDa ; comprises a N-term ser, tyr, gln, gly -rich region, followed by a an RNA binding domain and a Cys2/Cys2 finger motif, and repeats in C-term

Expression

wide; in the fetus and in the adult

Localisation

nuclear

Function

single strand DNA/RNA binding protein; part of theTFIID and RNA polymerase II complex of proteins which assemble on the promoter to form a pre-initiation complex (PIC); TFIID is composed of a TATA-box-binding protein (TBP) and a number of TBP-associated factors (TAFIIS); contribute to the activation of transcription

Homology

with EWSR1 and FUS

Mutations

Somatic

overexpression of TAF2N- FLI-1 chimeras in NIH3T3 cells leads to oncogenic transformation

Implicated in

Disease
a rare tumour: 2.3% of soft tissue sarcomas often localized in deep soft tissues of the lower extremities
