TAF1 zinc knuckle and winged helix are imperative for effective cyclin promoter activity. (A) Incorporation of TAF1 proteins into TFIID. TFIID complexes were isolated by immunoprecipitation and incorporated HA-TAF1 variants detected by anti-HA immunoblotting. Additional TFIID subunits immunoprecipitated were detected by immunoblotting. The full-length blots are presented in Supplemental Figure S5. Quantitation of normalized HA-TAF1 and TAF protein levels are provided in Supplemental Table 2. (B) Chromatin immunoprecipitation of HA-TAF1 variants expressed in HEK293 cells followed by qPCR for cyclin D1 and cyclin A2 promoters (n = 4). (C) Luciferase assay of cyclin D1 and cyclin A2 promoter driven reporter constructs co-transfected with TAF1 variants. Luciferase activity was normalized for total protein and expressed relative to reporter activity without exogenous TAF1 (Empty), given a value of 1.0 (n = 3). All error bars represent standard deviation. Two-tailed analysis compared to WT with a 95% confidence, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.0001 (Unpaired t-test).
