  Domain Name: TAF
TATA box binding protein associated factor. TAFs (TATA box binding protein associated factors) are part of the transcription initiation factor TFIID multimeric protein complex. TFIID is composed of the TATA box binding protein (TBP) and a number of TAFs. The TAFs provide binding sites for many different transcriptional activators and co-activators that modulate transcription initiation by Pol II. TAF proteins adopt a histone-like fold.
