Tc, an unusual promoter element required for constitutive transcription of the yeast HIS3 gene.

Molecular and cellular biology - 1 Sept 1990

Mahadevan S, Struhl K

Abstract excerpt

Tc is the proximal promoter element required for constitutive his3 transcription that occurs in the absence of the canonical TATA element (TR) and is initiated from the +1 site. The TC element, unlike TR, does not respond to transcriptional stimulation by the GCN4 or GAL4 activator protein. Analy...
