Abstract excerpt
TFIIE and TFIIH are essential for the promoter opening and escape that occurs as RNA polymerase II transits into early elongation. XPB, a subunit of TFIIH, contains an ATP-dependent helicase activity that is used in both of these processes. Here, we show that the smaller beta subunit of TFIIE stimulates the XPB helicase and ATPase activities. The larger alpha subunit can use its known inhibitory activity to...
