Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Transcription by RNA polymerase II in eukaryotic cells requires the ordered assembly of general transcription factors on the promoter to form a preinitiation complex. Transcriptional activator proteins (activators) stimulate transcription by increasing the rate and/or extent of preinitiation complex assembly. We have shown previously that acidic activators increase the stable association of TFIIB on...
