TAF1 plays a critical role in AML1-ETO driven leukemogenesis [PDF]
AML1-ETO is a fusion protein in which acetylation of lysine-43 is critical to leukemogenesis. Here, they show that TAF1 is required for AML1-ETO mediated gene expression such that it binds to acetylated AML1-ETO to facilitate the association of AML1-ETO ...

Novel Functions for TAF7, a Regulator of TAF1-independent Transcription [PDF]
The transcription factor TFIID components TAF7 and TAF1 regulate eukaryotic transcription initiation. TAF7 regulates transcription initiation of TAF1-dependent genes by binding to the acetyltransferase (AT) domain of TAF1 and inhibiting the enzymatic activity that is essential for transcription.
