Abstract excerpt
Although the TATA-binding protein (TBP) is highly conserved throughout the eukaryotic kingdom, human TBP cannot functionally replace yeast TBP for cell viability. To investigate the basis of this species specificity, we examine the in vivo transcriptional activity of human TBP at different classes of yeast promoters. Consistent with previous results, analysis of yeast/human hybrid TBPs indicates that growth...
