Abstract TFIID, one of the general transcription factor (GTF), regulates transcriptional initiation of protein-coding genes through direct binding to promoter elements and subsequent recruitment of other GTFs and RNA polymerase II. Although generally required for most protein-coding genes, accumulated studies have also demonstrated promoter-specific functions for several TFIID subunits in gene activation. Here, we report that TBP-associated factor 2 (TAF2) specifically regulates TFIID binding to a small subset of protein-coding genes and is essential for cell growth of multiple cancer lines. Co-immunoprecipitation assays revealed that TAF2 may be sub-stoichiometrically associated with the TFIID complex, thus indicating a minor fraction of TAF2-containing TFIID in cells. Consistently, integrated genome-wide profiles show that TAF2 binds to and regulates only a small subset of protein-coding genes. Furthermore, through the use of an inducible TAF2 degradation system, our results reveal a reduction of TBP/TFIID binding to several ribosomal genes upon selective ablation of TAF2. In addition, depletion of TAF2, as well as the TAF2-regulated ribosomal protein genes RPL30 and RPL39, decreases ribosome assembly and global protein translation. Collectively, this study suggests that TAF2 within the TFIID complex is of functional importance for TBP/TFIID binding to and expression of a small subset of protein-coding genes, thus establishing a previously unappreciated promoter-selective function for TAF2. |
