RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription requires the assembly of a multi-protein, preinitiation complex on core promoter elements. Transcription factor IID (TFIID) comprising the TATA box-binding protein (TBP) and TBP-associated factors (TAFs) is responsible for promoter recognition in this complex. Subsequent association of TFIIA and TFIIB provides enhanced complex stability. TFIIA is required...
The yeast TFIIIB transcription factor is composed of three components, TBP, TFIIIB90 or B″, and TFIIIB70 or BRF. TFIIIB70 is a pivotal component since it interacts with TBP, TFIIIC and RNA polymerase III (pol III). In order to better understand the role of TFIIIB70, we mutagenized extensively three evolutionary conserved motifs of its pol III-specific C-terminal extension. Conditional mutations lying...
A cDNA clone encoding a Xenopus laevis (XI) homologue of the TATA box-binding factor TFIID subunit p22, which shows similarities to histones H2B and H3, was isolated and sequenced. The deduced 164-amino-acid (aa) sequence was compared to those of homologues cloned from human and Drosophila melanogaster (Dm). Analysis showed that the TFIID subunit p22 consists of an approx. 60-aa less-conserved N-terminus...
Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we isolated a human cDNA that encodes a protein (hp22) interacting with TATA box-binding factor TFIID subunit p80 containing similarity with histone H4. Sequence analysis showed that the open reading frame (ORF) specifies a 161-amino-acid (aa) polypeptide homologous to Drosophila melanogaster TFIID subunit p22 (dp22). Comparison of the aa sequence of human TFIID...
A cDNA clone encoding a Xenopus laevis (Xl) homologue of human transcription factor IID (TFIID) subunit p80 was isolated and sequenced. The deduced 618-amino-acid (aa) sequence was compared to the homologues from human, mouse, rat and Drosophila melanogaster (Dm). A highly conserved region exists in the central region among these species. In contrast, the C-terminal region has significant homology...
A cDNA encoding a mouse transcription factor IID (TFIID) subunit, containing histone H4 homology, was cloned and sequenced. The predicted 678-amino-acid (aa) sequence of this molecule showed 97 and 41% identity to the human and Drosophila melanogaster homologues, respectively. Four putative direct repeats were found in the most highly conserved region in the central part of this protein.
A cDNA encoding a rat transcription factor IID (TFIID) subunit (p80), with histone H4 homology, was isolated and sequenced. The deduced amino acid (aa) sequence predicts a 678-aa protein with 97% identity to the human and 42% to the Drosophila melanogaster (Dm) homologues. Homologies between three species indicate the presence of three distinct regions.
