Human Gene TAF15 (ENST00000605844.6) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens TATA-box binding protein associated factor 15 (TAF15), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_139215)
RefSeq Summary (NM_139215): 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].

  ID: RBP56_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=TATA-binding protein-associated factor 2N; AltName: Full=68 kDa TATA-binding protein-associated factor; Short=TAF(II)68; Short=TAFII68; AltName: Full=RNA-binding protein 56;
FUNCTION: RNA and ssDNA-binding protein that may play specific roles during transcription initiation at distinct promoters. Can enter the preinitiation complex together with the RNA polymerase II (Pol II).
SUBUNIT: Belongs to the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcriptional multiprotein complex, together with the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and other TBP-associated factors (TAF(II)s). Binds SF1.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Shuttles from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous. Observed in all fetal and adult tissues.
PTM: Dimethylated by PRMT1 at Arg-206 to asymmetric dimethylarginine. The methylation may favor nuclear localization and positive regulation of TAF15 transcriptional activity.
PTM: Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.
DISEASE: Note=A chromosomal aberration involving TAF15/TAF2N is found in a form of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas (EMC). Translocation t(9;17)(q22;q11) with NR4A3.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the RRM TET family.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 RanBP2-type zinc finger.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domain.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
