Abstract excerpt
During transcription initiation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and general transcription factors (GTFs) assemble upstream of transcription start sites (TSSs) to form the preinitiation complex (PIC). In this model organism, yeast, the PIC selects TSSs through a unidirectional scanning mechanism referred to as promoter scanning. Previous studies have shown that the TFIIH subunit Tfb3...
