histone-fold domain found in transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 9 (TAF9) and similar proteins; The family includes TAF9 (also called TATA Binding Protein (TBP) associated factor 9, RNA polymerase II TBP-associated factor subunit G, STAF31/32, transcription initiation factor TFIID 31 kDa subunit, TAFII-31, TAFII31, transcription initiation factor TFIID 32 kDa subunit, TAFII-32, or TAFII32) and TAF9-like (also called transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 9B, neuronal cell death-related protein 7, DN-7, or transcription-associated factor TAFII31L), which are essential for cell viability. They are involved in transcriptional activation as well as the repression of distinct but overlapping sets of genes. They may have roles in gene regulation associated with apoptosis. Both TAF9 and TAF9-like are TAFs that are components of the transcription factor IID (TFIID) complex, the TBP-free TAFII complex (TFTC), the PCAF histone acetylase complex and the STAGA transcription coactivator-HAT complex. TFIID or TFTC are essential for the regulation of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription. TAF9 interacts directly with different transcription factors such as p53, herpes simplex virus activator vp16, and the basal transcription factor TFIIB.

histone fold domain (HFD) superfamily; The histone fold domain (HFD) is a structurally conserved interaction motif involved in heterodimerization of the core histones and their assembly into the nucleosome octamer. Histone fold heterodimers play crucial roles in gene regulation. The minimal HFD consists of three alpha helices connected by two short, unstructured loops. The HFD is found in core histones, TATA box-binding protein-associated factors (TAFs), and many other transcription factors. HFD plays a role in the nucleosomal core particle by conserving histone interactions; these contain more than one HFD. The structure of the nucleosome core particle has two modes that have the largest interaction surfaces, and these are the H3-H4 and H2A-H2B heterodimer interactions. Several TAFs interact via histone-fold (HF) motifs. Five HF-containing TAF pairs have been described in transcription factor II D (TFIID): TAF6-TAF9, TAF4-TAF12, TAF11-TAF13, TAF8-TAF10 and TAF3-TAF10.
