Abstract excerpt
We describe the identification and characterization of a conserved downstream basal promoter element that is present in a subset of Drosophila TATA-box-deficient (TATA-less) promoters by using purified, epitope-tagged TFIID complex (eTFIID) from embryos of transgenic Drosophila. DNase I footprinting of the binding of eTFIID to TATA-less promoters revealed that the factor protected a region that extended from the...
