Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase II requires general transcription factors to initiate mRNA transcription. We have determined the crystal structure of human TFIIE at atomic resolution. In addition, mutations on the residues involved in the interactions resulted in severe growth defects in yeast. These findings provide a structural basis for understanding the functional mechanisms of TFIIE in the context of PIC formation and transcription initiation.
