Description: Homo sapiens transcriptional adaptor 2A (TADA2A), transcript variant 3, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_001166105): Many DNA-binding transcriptional activator proteins enhance the initiation rate of RNA polymerase II-mediated gene transcription by interacting functionally with the general transcription machinery bound at the basal promoter. Adaptor proteins are usually required for this activation, possibly to acetylate and destabilize nucleosomes, thereby relieving chromatin constraints at the promoter. The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional activator adaptor and has been found to be part of the PCAF histone acetylase complex. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.

Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr17:35,766,977-35,837,226 Size: 70,250 Total Exon Count: 16 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg19 chr17:35,771,453-35,837,087 Size: 65,635 Coding Exon Count: 15
ID:TAD2A_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Transcriptional adapter 2-alpha; AltName: Full=Transcriptional adapter 2-like; Short=ADA2-like protein; FUNCTION: Component of the ATAC complex, a complex with histone acetyltransferase activity on histones H3 and H4. Required for the function of some acidic activation domains, which activate transcription from a distant site (By similarity). Binds double- stranded DNA. Binds dinucleosomes, probably at the linker region between neighboring nucleosomes. Plays a role in chromatin remodeling. SUBUNIT: Interacts with GCN5 and NR3C1. Associated with the P/CAF protein in the PCAF complex. Component of the PCAF complex, at least composed of TADA2L/ADA2, TADA3L/ADA3, TAF5L/PAF65-beta, TAF6L/PAF65-alpha, TAF10/TAFII30, TAF12/TAFII20, TAF9/TAFII31 and TRRAP. Component of the ADA2A-containing complex (ATAC), composed of CSRP2BP, KAT2A, TADA2L, TADA3L, ZZ3, MBIP, WDR5, YEATS2, CCDC101 and DR1. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Chromosome. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in all tissues, but most abundantly in testis. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 SANT domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 SWIRM domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
