Abstract excerpt
NC2 (Dr1/DRAP1) and Mot1p are global repressors of transcription that have been isolated in both Saccharomyces cerevisiae and humans. NC2 is a dimeric histone-fold complex that represses RNA polymerase II transcription through binding to TBP and inhibition of TFIIA and TFIIB. Mot1p is an ATPase that removes DNA-bound TBP upon ATP hydrolysis. In this work, we studied the core promoter specificity of NC2 in vivo...
