Complex: General transcription factor complex TFIID
Macromolecular complex annotations are imported from the Complex Portal. These annotations have been derived from physical molecular interaction evidence extracted from the literature and cross-referenced in the entry, or by curator inference from information on homologs in closely related species or by inference from scientific background.

- Description
- General transcription factor complex that acts as the primary core promoter recognition factor in the initiation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription. The TBP subunit of TFIID recognizes and binds to the TATA box (if present), while TAF1 and TAF2 interact with the Initiator element (Inr), and TAF1 and the TAF6-TAF9 module recognizes the downstream core promoter element (DPE). Other core promoter elements, such as the motif ten element (MTE), may also be involved. Binding of the general transcription factor complex TFIIA (CPX-1633) enhances binding of TFIID to the core promoter and nucleates pre-initiation complex (PIC) assembly. Following recruitment of TFIIA to TFIID, TFIIB, TFIIF, Pol II, TFIIE (CPX-1658) and TFIIH are successively assembled at the core promoter, allowing the PIC to initiate Pol II transcription.
Complex Diagram
This diagram displays the protein subunits (blue) of the complex and how they interact with each other. Interactions with other relevant participants such as small molecules (purple), sub-complexes (yellow), and other subunits (red) are also shown. If a participant appears in the diagram with no lines connected to it, then its specific interactions with other participants are currently unknown.

Shared Annotations
This diagram displays Gene Ontology terms (green) and subunits (blue) that are shared between the given macromolecular complex (black) and other yeast complexes (yellow). The shared GO terms or subunits can be visualized separately using the radio button at the bottom of the graph. Note: No diagram is shown ("No shared annotations") if there are less than 2 shared annotations (either GO terms or subunits of other complexes) between this complex and any other complexes.
