The association of the DR1,DRAP1 heterodimer with TBP results in a functional repression of both activated and basal transcription of class II genes. This interaction precludes the formation of a transcription-competent complex by inhibiting the association of TFIIA and,or TFIIB with TBP. Can bind to DNA on its own.
NC2alpha interacts with BTAF1 and stimulates its ATP-dependent association with TATA-binding protein.Klejman M.P., Pereira L.A., van Zeeburg H.J.T., Gilfillan S., Meisterernst M., Timmers H.T.M.Mol. Cell. Biol. 24:10072-10082(2004)
