Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of promoter-bound TFIID and model of human pre-initiation complex assembly

TL;DR: Superposition of common elements between the two structures provides novel insights into the general role of TFIID in promoter recognition, PIC assembly, and transcription initiation.
ComponentDOI

Structure of human TFIID and mechanism of TBP loading onto promoter DNA.

TL;DR: This work used cryo-electron microscopy, chemical crosslinking-mass spectrometry and biochemical reconstitution to determine the complete molecular architecture of TFIID and define the conformational landscape of T FIID in the process of TATA-box binding protein (TBP) loading onto promoter DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Insights into the Eukaryotic Transcription Initiation Machinery

TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscopy has made possible the visualization of large PIC assemblies in different functional states, and these structures can now be interpreted in near-atomic detail and provide an exciting structural framework for past and future functional studies, giving us unique mechanistic insight into the complex process of transcription initiation.
