Abstract excerpt
Initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) on Saccharomyces cerevisiae messenger RNA (mRNA) genes typically occurs at multiple sites 40-120 bp downstream of the TATA box. The mechanism that accommodates this extended and variable promoter architecture is unknown, but one model suggests that RNAP II forms an open promoter complex near the TATA box and then scans the template DNA strand for start...
