Summary

TATA-box binding protein (TBP) interactions with TBP-associated factors (TAFs) are required for the transcription of RNA polymerases. One particular TBP-TAF complex, snRNA-activating protein complex (SNAPC), is unusual in that it regulates basal transcription of both RNA polymerase II and III by binding specifically to a non-TATA-box proximal sequence element (PSE). SNAPC consists of five subunits of varying size. SNAPC binds to Oct-1 and TBP, which are activators of snRNA and RNA polymerases, respectively. The POU domain of Oct-1 binds to SNAPC 190 and effectively recruits SNAPC to the PSE. The cooperative binding of SNAPC and Oct-1 to their respective sequence elements is mediated by a nucleosome positioned between the two sequence elements. SNAPC 19 mediates the assembly of the subunits to form a functional SNAPC transcription regulator. SNAPC 50 (also designated PTFβ) contains two zinc finger motifs and binds to SNAPC 43 (also designated PTFγ) but not SNAPC 45 (PTFδ).

Functions

  • Sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that interacts with inducible viral and cellular enhancer elements to regulate transcription of selected genes. AP-2 factors bind to the consensus sequence 5'-GCCNNNGGC-3' and activate genes involved in a large spectrum of important biological functions including proper eye, face, body wall, limb and neural tube development. They also suppress a number of genes including MCAM/MUC18, C/EBP alpha and MYC. AP-2-alpha is the only AP-2 protein required for early morphogenesis of the lens vesicle. Together with the CITED2 coactivator, stimulates the PITX2 P1 promoter transcription activation. Associates with chromatin to the PITX2 P1 promoter region.
