Abstract excerpt
We used site-specific protein-DNA photo-cross-linking to define contact points between Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) and the general transcription factors TBP, TFIIB, and TFIIF on promoter DNA. We present three key findings: (i) the overall pattern of cross-link sites is remarkably similar between the yeast and the previously described human system, even though transcription initiates...
