BTF3

Gene
BTF3
Protein
Transcription factor BTF3
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
206 amino acids
Function
When associated with NACA, prevents inappropriate targeting of non-secretory polypeptides to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Binds to nascent polypeptide chains as they emerge from the ribosome and blocks their interaction with the signal recognition particle (SRP), which normally targets nascent secretory peptides to the ER. BTF3 is also a general transcription factor that can form a stable complex with RNA polymerase II. Required for the initiation of transcription.
Similarity
Belongs to the NAC-beta family.

Gene

Protein
Nascent polypeptide-associated complex subunit beta
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Length
151 amino acids
Function
Component of the nascent polypeptide-associated complex (NAC), a dynamic component of the ribosomal exit tunnel, protecting the emerging polypeptides from interaction with other cytoplasmic proteins to ensure appropriate nascent protein targeting. The NAC complex also promotes mitochondrial protein import by enhancing productive ribosome interactions with the outer mitochondrial membrane and blocks the inappropriate interaction of ribosomes translating non-secretory nascent polypeptides with translocation sites in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. EGD1 may act as a transcription factor that exert a negative effect on the expression of several genes that are transcribed by RNA polymerase II.
Similarity
Belongs to the NAC-beta family.
