Transcription Factor TFIID
-
Subject Areas on Research
- A yeast TATA-binding protein mutant that selectively enhances gene expression from weak RNA polymerase II promoters.
- Drosophila TFIID binds to a conserved downstream basal promoter element that is present in many TATA-box-deficient promoters.
- Genetic characterization of a missense mutation in the X-linked TAF7L gene identified in an oligozoospermic man†.
- Promoting developmental transcription.
- Sp1 activation of a TATA-less promoter requires a species-specific interaction involving transcription factor IID.
- The DPE, a conserved downstream core promoter element that is functionally analogous to the TATA box.
- The Drosophila Translational Control Element (TCE) is required for high-level transcription of many genes that are specifically expressed in testes.
- The MTE, a new core promoter element for transcription by RNA polymerase II.
- The TCT motif, a key component of an RNA polymerase II transcription system for the translational machinery.
- The downstream core promoter element, DPE, is conserved from Drosophila to humans and is recognized by TAFII60 of Drosophila.
