Abstract excerpt
Positive cofactor 4 (PC4), originally identified as a transcriptional coactivator, possesses the ability to suppress promoter-driven as well as nonspecific transcription via its DNA binding activity. Previous studies showed that the repressive activity of PC4 on promoter-driven transcription is alleviated by transcription factor TFIIH, possibly through one of its enzymatic activities. Using recombinant TFIIH, we...
