  ID: TF3C4_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=General transcription factor 3C polypeptide 4; EC=2.3.1.48; AltName: Full=TF3C-delta; AltName: Full=Transcription factor IIIC 90 kDa subunit; Short=TFIIIC 90 kDa subunit; Short=TFIIIC90; AltName: Full=Transcription factor IIIC subunit delta;
FUNCTION: Essential for RNA polymerase III to make a number of small nuclear and cytoplasmic RNAs, including 5S RNA, tRNA, and adenovirus-associated (VA) RNA of both cellular and viral origin. Has histone acetyltransferase activity (HAT) with unique specificity for free and nucleosomal H3. May cooperate with GTF3C5 in facilitating the recruitment of TFIIIB and RNA polymerase through direct interactions with BRF1, POLR3C and POLR3F. May be localized close to the A box.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Acetyl-CoA + [histone] = CoA + acetyl- [histone].
SUBUNIT: Part of the TFIIIC subcomplex TFIIIC2, consisting of six subunits, GTF3C1, GTF3C2, GTF3C3, GTF3C4, GTF3C5 and GTF3C6. Interacts with BRF1, GTF3C1, GTF3C2, GTF3C5, GTF3C6, POLR3C and POLR3F.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TFIIIC subunit 4 family.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAH11619.1; Type=Miscellaneous discrepancy; Note=Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence;

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.
