Abstract

Summary: TFIID is an essential basal transcription factor, crucial for RNA polymerase II (pol II) promoter recognition and transcription initiation. The TFIID complex consists of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs) that contain intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) with currently unknown functions. Here, we show that a conserved IDR drives TAF2 condensation in nuclear speckles, independently of other TFIID subunits. Quantitative mass spectrometry analyses reveal that the TAF2 IDR specifically interacts with the nuclear speckle and spliceosome-associated protein SRRM2. Consequently, TAF2 recruits SRRM2 to TFIID to form non-canonical TFIID-SRRM2 complexes. Reduced SRRM2 recruitment elicits alternative splicing events in RNAs coding for proteins involved in transcription and transmembrane transport. Further, genome-wide binding analyses suggest TAF2 shuttling between nuclear speckles and pol II promoters. This study identifies an IDR of the basal transcription machinery as a molecular guide for protein partitioning into nuclear compartments, controlling protein complex composition and pre-mRNA splicing.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
