Taf1 Regulates Pax3 Protein by Monoubiquitination in Skeletal Muscle Progenitors
2010, Molecular CellCitation Excerpt :Due to the pleiotropic activities of Taf1, it is difficult to selectively knock out the UBAC activity to establish whether Taf1 is the only enzyme responsible for the monoubiquitination of Pax3. To attest to this difficulty, the ts13 or tsBN462 cell lines, which lack the acetyltransferase activity of Taf1, display cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis (Sekiguchi et al., 1995). Based on a mutation in Drosophila with reduced UBAC activity (Pham and Sauer, 2000), we generated homologous mutations in the mammalian Taf1 protein.
Apoptosis-like yeast cell death in response to DNA damage and replication defects

2003, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :The activity of CIA-II might also be controlled by protein modification of its interactive proteins such as core histones H3/H4 (37). The role of CIA-II in the control of apoptotic cell death is intriguing because the hamster tsBN462 cell, which has a mutation in the gene encoding CCG1, undergoes apoptosis following growth arrest at the nonpermissive temperature 39.5 °C (62). In addition, the S. cerevisiae mutant for the CIA-II counterpart (asf1) spontaneously dies because of preferential arrest at the G2/M phase during the cell cycle (31).
The cell cycle regulatory factor TAF1 stimulates ribosomal DNA transcription by binding to the activator UBF
2002, Current BiologyCitation Excerpt :The clone was sequenced, and a nucleotide database search revealed that it is identical to human TAF1 (previously known as TAFII250) [12, 13]. TAF1 is the largest subunit of the TFIID complex and is identical to a factor that has been implicated in the regulation of G1-to-S progression (CCG1) [14–16]. The clone isolated from the yeast two-hybrid screen encodes for the carboxy-terminal portion of TAF1, amino acids 1096–1872.
