Transcription from a TATA-less promoter requires a multisubunit TFIID complex.

Open access
Pugh, B F, Tjian, R·1991·Genes & Development

Abstract

In eukaryotes, the TATA box-binding protein (TBP) is responsible for nucleating assembly of the transcription initiation machinery. Here, we report that a TFIID complex containing TBP is essential for transcription even at a promoter that lacks a TATA box. Immunopurification of TFIID reveals that the active species in reconstituting TATA-less transcription is a multisubunit complex consisting of TBP and many TBP-associated factors (TAFs).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
