Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; RNA polymerase III type 3 promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and TFIIA-class transcription factor complex binding activity. Contributes to RNA polymerase II general transcription initiation factor activity. Involved in DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription factor TFIID complex and transcription factor TFIIIB complex. Is expressed in several structures, including germline cell; male accessory gland; seminal vesicle; terminal filament; and testis. Used to study neurodegenerative disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in late onset Parkinson's disease; schizophrenia; spinocerebellar ataxia type 17; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including TBP (TATA-box binding protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

Results indicate that a portion of Brf1 is sandwiched between Bdp1 and TBP upstream of the U6 TATA box. Furthermore, Bdp1 traverses the DNA under the N-terminal stirrup of TBP to interact with the DNA (and very likely Brf1) downstream of the TATA sequence.

TFIID has two disctinct modes of transcription initiation, de novo initiation and reinitiation, as revealed by the inhibitory effect of TFIID-bound tin compounds on the de novo initiation, but not on the reinitiation.

Title: Differential utilization of TATA box-binding protein (TBP) and TBP-related factor 1 (TRF1) at different classes of RNA polymerase III promoters.
TBP activates TATA-dependent transcription and represses DPE-dependent transcription, whereas Mot1 and NC2 block TBP function and thus repress TATA-dependent transcription and activate DPE-dependent transcription.
Title: TBP, Mot1, and NC2 establish a regulatory circuit that controls DPE-dependent versus TATA-dependent transcription.
