The TFIID basal transcription factor complex plays a major role in the initiation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription (PubMed:33795473). TFIID recognizes and binds promoters with or without a TATA box via its subunit TBP, a TATA-box-binding protein, and promotes assembly of the pre-initiation complex (PIC) (PubMed:33795473). The TFIID complex consists of TBP and TBP-associated factors (TAFs), including TAF1, TAF2, TAF3, TAF4, TAF5, TAF6, TAF7, TAF8, TAF9, TAF10, TAF11, TAF12 and TAF13 (PubMed:33795473). TAF10 is also component of the PCAF histone acetylase complex, the TATA-binding protein-free TAF complex (TFTC) and the STAGA transcription coactivator-HAT complex (PubMed:18206972, PubMed:11564863, PubMed:9885574, PubMed:10373431, PubMed:12601814). May regulate cyclin E expression (By similarity). Component of the TFIID basal transcription factor complex, composed of TATA-box-binding protein TBP, and a number of TBP-associated factors (TAFs), including TAF1, TAF2, TAF3, TAF4, TAF5, TAF6, TAF7, TAF8, TAF9, TAF10, TAF11, TAF12 and TAF13 (PubMed:33795473). Component of the TATA-binding protein-free TAF complex (TFTC), the PCAF histone acetylase complex and the STAGA transcription coactivator-HAT complex (PubMed:11564863, PubMed:9885574, PubMed:10373431, PubMed:12601814, PubMed:18206972). The PCAF complex consists at least of TADA2L/ADA2, TADA3L/ADA3, SUPT3H, TAF5L TAF6L, TAF9, TAF10, TAF12 and TRRAP (PubMed:9885574). The TFTC-HAT complex consists at least of TAF5L, TAF6L, TADA3L, SUPT3H, TAF2, TAF4, TAF5, GCN5L2/GCN5, TAF10 and TRRAP (PubMed:10373431, PubMed:12601814). The STAGA transcription coactivator-HAT complex consists at least of SUPT3H, GCN5L2, TAF5L, TAF6L, SUPT7L, TADA3L, TAD1L, TAF10, TAF12, TRRAP and TAF9 (PubMed:11564863, PubMed:18206972). The STAGA core complex is associated with a subcomplex required for histone deubiquitination composed of ATXN7L3, ENY2 and USP22 (PubMed:18206972). Interacts with TAF3 (PubMed:11438666). Interacts with LOXL2 (PubMed:25959397). Interacts with TAF12 isoform TAFII20; the interaction is direct (PubMed:7729427). The [KR]-[STA]-K motif is specifically recognized by the SETD7 methyltransferase. Monomethylated at Lys-189 by SETD7, leading to increased affinity for RNA polymerase II. Lysine deamination at Lys-189 to form allysine is mediated by LOXL2. Allysine formation by LOXL2 results in release of TAF10 from promoters, leading to inhibition of TFIID-dependent transcription. Belongs to the TAF10 family.
