IPR036507 | Telomere_rpt-bd_fac_dimer_sf
Type: Homologous_superfamily
Description: Telomeres function to shield chromosome ends from degradation and end-to-end fusions, as well as preventing the activation of DNA damage checkpoints. Telomeric repeat binding factor (TRF) proteins TRF1 and TRF2 are major components of vertebrate telomeres required for regulation of telomere stability. TRF1 and TRF2 bind to telomeric DNA as homodimers. Dimerisation involves the TRF homology (TRFH) subdomain contained within the dimerisation domain. The TRFH subdomain is important not only for dimerisation, but for DNA binding, telomere localisation, and interactions with other telomeric proteins. The dimerisation domains of TRF1 and TRF2 show the same multi-helical structure, arranged in a solenoid conformation similar to TPR repeats, which can be divided into an α-α superhelix and a long alpha hairpin [].The two related human TRF proteins hTRF1 and hTRF2 form homodimers and bind directly to telomeric TTAGGG repeats via the myb DNA binding domain at the carboxy terminus []. TRF1 is implicated in telomere length regulation and TRF2 in telomere protection []. Other telomere complex associated proteins are recruited through their interaction with either TRF1 or TRF2. The fission yeast protein Taz1p (telomere-associated in Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Fission yeast) has similarity to both hTRF1 and hTRF2 and may perform the dual functions of TRF1 and TRF2 at fission yeast telomeres []. This entry represents the dimerisation domain.

IPR030491 | TBP_CS
Type: Conserved_site
Description: Transcription factor TFIID (or TATA-binding protein, TBP) []is a generalfactor that plays a major role in the activation of eukaryotic genestranscribed by RNA polymerase II. TFIID binds specifically to the TATA boxpromoter element which lies close to the position of transcription initiation.There is a remarkable degree of sequence conservation of a C-terminal domainof about 180 residues in TFIID from various eukaryotic sources. This region isnecessary and sufficient for TATA box binding. The most significant structuralfeature of this domain is the presence of two conserved repeats of a 77 amino-acid region. The intramolecular symmetry generates a saddle-shaped structurethat sits astride the DNA [].Drosophila TRF (TBP-related factor) []is a sequence-specific transcriptionfactor that also binds to the TATA box and is highly similar to TFIID. Archaebacteria also possess a TBP homologue [].This entry represents a conserved site that spans the last 50 residues of therepeated region.

IPR013921 | Mediator_Med20
Type: Family
Description: The Mediator complex is a coactivator involved in the regulated transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene-specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. The Mediator complex, having a compact conformation in its free form, is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors. On recruitment the Mediator complex unfolds to an extended conformation and partially surrounds RNA polymerase II, specifically interacting with the unphosphorylated form of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II. The Mediator complex dissociates from the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme and stays at the promoter when transcriptional elongation begins. The Mediator complex is composed of at least 31 subunits: MED1, MED4, MED6, MED7, MED8, MED9, MED10, MED11, MED12, MED13, MED13L, MED14, MED15, MED16, MED17, MED18, MED19, MED20, MED21, MED22, MED23, MED24, MED25, MED26, MED27, MED29, MED30, MED31, CCNC, CDK8 and CDC2L6/CDK11. The subunits form at least three structurally distinct submodules. The head and the middle modules interact directly with RNA polymerase II, whereas the elongated tail module interacts with gene-specific regulatory proteins. Mediator containing the CDK8 module is less active than Mediator lacking this module in supporting transcriptional activation.The head module contains: MED6, MED8, MED11, SRB4/MED17, SRB5/MED18, ROX3/MED19, SRB2/MED20 and SRB6/MED22. The middle module contains: MED1, MED4, NUT1/MED5, MED7, CSE2/MED9, NUT2/MED10, SRB7/MED21 and SOH1/MED31. CSE2/MED9 interacts directlywith MED4. The tail module contains: MED2, PGD1/MED3, RGR1/MED14, GAL11/MED15 and SIN4/MED16. The CDK8 module contains: MED12, MED13, CCNC and CDK8. Individual preparations of the Mediator complex lacking one or more distinct subunits have been variously termed ARC, CRSP, DRIP, PC2, SMCC and TRAP.Proteins in this entry are subunit Med20 of the Mediator complex, and is found in the non-essential part of the head []. and related to the TATA-binding protein (TBP). TBP is a highly conserved RNA polymerase II general transcription factor that binds to the core promoter and initiates assembly of the pre-initiation complex. Human TRF has been shown to associate with an RNA polymerase II-SRB complex [].
