Abstract

Using the S2 cell system of Drosophila melanogaster, it was shown that the key protein domain mediating the interaction of TFIID and Brahma transcriptional complexes within the BTFly supercomplex is the evolutionary conserved SAY domain of SAYP. TFIID and Brahma coactivators participated in the reporter gene activation induced by the SAY domain in cellular nuclei. The components of TFIID and Brahma directly interacting with SAY were identified.
