Abstract excerpt
The large subunit of TFIIE (TFIIEalpha) has a highly conserved zinc ribbon domain, which is essential for transcription. Recently, we determined the solution structure of this domain to be that of a novel zinc finger motif [Okuda et al. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 51395-51403]. On examination of the functions of four cysteine mutants of TFIIEalpha, in which each of four zinc-liganded cysteines was replaced by...
