TAFs are components of the transcription factor IID (TFIID) complex that is essential for mediating regulation of RNA polymerase transcription. Not redundant with TAF6. Component of the TFIID complex. TFIID is composed of TATA binding protein (TBP) and a number of TBP-associated factors (TAFs) whose MWs range from 14-217 kDa. Interacts with TAF5 and TAF9. Expressed in roots, leaves, inflorescences and siliques. Not expressed in germinating pollen. Belongs to the TAF6 family. Truncated N-terminus.
