Abstract excerpt
The Brf1 subunit of TFIIIB plays an important role in recruiting the TATA-binding protein (TBP) to the up-stream region of genes transcribed by RNA polymerase III. When TBP is not bound to promoters, it sequesters its DNA binding domain through dimerization. Promoter assembly factors therefore might be required to dissociate TBP into productively binding monomers. Here we show that Saccharomyces cerevisiae Brf1...
