Abstract excerpt
TFIIH is an RNA polymerase II transcription factor that performs ATP-dependent functions in both transcription initiation, where it catalyzes formation of the open complex, and in promoter escape, where it suppresses arrest of the early elongation complex at promoter-proximal sites. TFIIH possesses three known ATP-dependent activities: a 3' --> 5' DNA helicase catalyzed by its XPB subunit, a 5' --> 3' DNA...
