Essential for RNA polymerase III to make a number of small nuclear and cytoplasmic RNAs, including 5S RNA, tRNA, and adenovirus-associated (VA) RNA of both cellular and viral origin. Has histone acetyltransferase activity (HAT) with unique specificity for free and nucleosomal H3. May cooperate with GTF3C5 in facilitating the recruitment of TFIIIB and RNA polymerase through direct interactions with BRF1, POLR3C and POLR3F. May be localized close to the A box (By similarity). acetyl-CoA + L-lysyl-[protein] = CoA + H(+) + N(6)-acetyl-L-lysyl-[protein] Part of the TFIIIC subcomplex TFIIIC2, consisting of six subunits, GTF3C1, GTF3C2, GTF3C3, GTF3C4, GTF3C5 and GTF3C6. Interacts with BRF1, GTF3C1, GTF3C2, GTF3C5, GTF3C6, POLR3C and POLR3F (By similarity). Belongs to the TFIIIC subunit 4 family.
