Transcription factor tau 95 kDa subunit

UniProtKB accession:  P32367

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  TFIIIC mediates tRNA and 5S RNA gene activation by binding to intragenic promoter elements. Upstream of the transcription start site, TFIIIC assembles the initiation complex TFIIIB-TFIIIC-tDNA, which is sufficient for RNA polymerase III recruitment and function. Part of the tauA domain of TFIIIC that binds boxA DNA promoter sites of tRNA and similar genes. Participates in the interconnection of tauA with tauB via its contacts with TFC3 and TFC6. Serves as a scaffold critical for tauA-DNA spatial configuration and tauB-DNA stability.
