Reconstitution of Transcription Factor SL1: Exclusive Binding of TBP by SL1 or TFIID Subunits

Abstract

RNA polymerase I and II transcription factors SL1 and TFIID, respectively, are composed of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and a set of TBP-associated factors (TAFs) responsible for promoter recognition. How the universal transcription factor TBP becomes committed to a TFIID or SL1 complex has not been known. Complementary DNAs encoding each of the three TAF I s that are integral components of SL1 have now been isolated. Analysis of subunit interactions indicated that the three TAF I s can bind individually and specifically to TBP. In addition, these TAF I s interact with each other to form a stable TBP-TAF complex. When TBP was bound first by either TAF I 110, 63, or 48, subunits of TFIID such as TAF II 250 and 150 did not bind TBP. Conversely, if TBP first formed a complex with TAF II 250 or 150, the subunits of SL1 did not bind TBP. These results suggest that a mutually exclusive binding specificity for TBP intrinsic to SL1 and TFIID subunits directs the formation of promoter- and RNA polymerase-selective TBP-TAF complexes.

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.
