Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The TATA box binding protein (TBP) is required by all three RNA polymerases for the promoter-specific initiation of transcription. All eukaryotic TBP-DNA complexes observed in crystal structures show the conserved C-terminal domain of TBP (TBPc) bound to the TATA box in a single orientation that is consistent with assembly of a preinitiation complex (PIC) possessing a unique polarity. The binding of...
