TAF15 Gene Summary [Human]

This gene encodes a member of the TET family of RNA-binding proteins. The encoded protein plays a role in RNA polymerase II gene transcription as a component of a distinct subset of multi-subunit transcription initiation factor TFIID complexes. Translocations involving this gene play a role in acute leukemia and extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, and mutations in this gene may play a role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human TAF15 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • RGG domain
  • RNA recognition motif (RRM) superfamily
  • Ser-Tyr-Gln-Gly-rich transactivating domain
  • low complexity domain
  • RNA recognition motif
  • protein binding
  • glutamine serine tyrosine-rich domain
  • G/S Y G/S triplet repeat
  • RNA binding
  • Zn-finger in Ran binding protein and others
  • mRNA 3' UTR binding
  • zinc finger domain
  • RNA-binding domain
