Abstract excerpt
We have studied the effect of exogenous expression of the basal transcription factor TFIID on the activities of several different TATA-containing and TATA-lacking promoters. Overexpression of TFIID from a transfected plasmid in Drosophila Schneider cells resulted in substantial concentration-dependent increases in expression from a cotransfected minimal TATA-containing promoter. Overexpression of TFIID activated...
