Abstract excerpt
The RNA polymerase II general transcription factor TFIID is a complex containing the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and associated factors (TAFs). We have used a mutant allele of the gene encoding yeast TAF(II)68/61p to analyze its function in vivo. We provide biochemical and genetic evidence that the C-terminal alpha-helix of TAF(II)68/61p is required for its direct interaction with TBP, the stable incorporation of...
