Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiontaf-4 encodes a TAFII (TBP(TATA-binding protein)-associated factor) that is orthologous to human TAF4 (hTAFII130); TAF-4 is predicted to be a component of the TFIID mRNA transcription complex and is generally required for early embryonic mRNA transcription; consistent with this observation, taf-4(RNAi) results in embryonic lethality at the ~100-cell stage with little cell differentiation, similar to the loss of AMA-1/RNA polymerase II activity; TAF-4 is detected in nuclei in the adult germline, oocytes, and embryo, from the 2-cell stage through early morphogenesis.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004890

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to RNA polymerase II general transcription initiation factor activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; regulation of mitotic cell cycle, embryonic; and transcription initiation at RNA polymerase II promoter. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 13. Is an ortholog of human TAF4B (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 4b).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

This gene was previously called taf-5. [krb 020614]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
