RESUMO

We show that the yeast TFIID (yTFIID) component yTAFII47 contains a histone fold domain (HFD) with homology to that previously described for hTAFII135. Complementation in vivo indicates that the yTAFII47 HFD is necessary and sufficient for vegetative growth. Mutation of highly conserved residues in the α1 helix of the yTAFII47 HFD results in a temperature-sensitive phenotype which can be suppressed by overexpression of yTAFII25, as well as by yTAFII40, yTAFII19, and yTAFII60. In yeast two-hybrid and bacterial coexpression assays, the yTAFII47 HFD selectively heterodimerizes with yTAFII25, which we show contains an HFD with homology to the hTAFII28 family We additionally demonstrate that yTAFII65 contains a functional HFD which also selectively heterodimerizes with yTAFII25. These results reveal the existence of two novel histone-like pairs in yTFIID. The physical and genetic interactions described here show that the histone-like yTAFIIs are organized in at least two substructures within TFIID rather than in a single octamer-like structure as previously suggested. Furthermore, our results indicate that ySPT7 has an HFD homologous to that of yTAFII47 which selectively heterodimerizes with yTAFII25, defining a novel histone-like pair in the SAGA complex.
