| Abstract | We report structure-function analyses of TAF130, the single-copy essential yeast gene encoding the 130,000-Mr yeast TATA-binding protein (TBP)-associated factor TAF(II)130 (yTAF(II)130). A systematic family of TAF130 mutants was generated, and these mutant TAF130 alleles were introduced into yeast in both single and multiple copies to test for their ability to complement a taf130delta null allele and support cell growth. All mutant proteins were stably expressed in vivo. The complementation tests indicated that a large portion (amino acids 208 to 303 as well as amino acids 367 to 1037) of yTAF(II)130 is required to support cell growth. Direct protein blotting and coimmunoprecipitation analyses showed that two N-terminal deletions which remove portions of yTAF(II)130 amino acids 2 to 115 dramatically decrease the ability of these mutant yTAF(II)130 proteins to bind TBP. Cells bearing either of these two TAF130 mutant alleles also exhibit a slow-growth phenotype. Consistent with these observations, overexpression of TBP can correct this growth deficiency as well as increase the amount of TBP interacting with yTAF(II)130 in vivo. Our results provide the first combined genetic and biochemical evidence that yTAF(II)130 binds to yeast TBP in vivo through yTAF(II)130 N-terminal sequences and that this binding is physiologically significant. By using fluorescence anisotropy spectroscopic binding measurements, the affinity of the interaction of TBP for the N-terminal TBP-binding domain of yTAF(II)130 was measured, and the Kd was found to be about 1 nM. Moreover, we found that the N-terminal domain of yTAF(II)130 actively dissociated TBP from TATA box-containing DNA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
