The general transcription machinery and general cofactors.

TL;DR: These cofactors are capable of repressing basal transcription when activators are absent and stimulating transcription in the presence of activators, with emphasis on the events occurring after the chromatin has been remodeled but prior to the formation of the first phosphodiester bond.

Molecular Genetics of the RNA Polymerase II General Transcriptional Machinery

TL;DR: This review focuses on the global effectors of RNA polymerase II transcription in yeast, including the general transcription factors, the coactivators, and the general repressors.

A novel genetic system to detect protein-protein interactions.

TL;DR: A novel genetic system to study protein-protein interactions between two proteins by taking advantage of the properties of the GAL4 protein of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which may be applicable as a general method to identify proteins that interact with a known protein by the use of a simple galactose selection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptional repression by YY1, a human GLI-Krüppel-related protein, and relief of repression by adenovirus E1A protein.

TL;DR: A sequence within the transcription control region of the adeno-associated virus P5 promoter has been shown to mediate transcriptional activation by the adenovirus E1A protein, and it is reported here that this same element mediates transcriptional repression in the absence of E 1A.
Journal ArticleDOI

Five intermediate complexes in transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II

TL;DR: A native gel electrophoresis DNA binding assay was used to resolve complexes formed on the adenovirus Major Late Promoter by general transcription factors and RNA polymerase II, generating new complexes that contained accurately initiated transcripts associated with the transcription machinery and the template DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of transcriptional activation by Sp1: evidence for coactivators.

TL;DR: These findings with Sp1 and CTF suggest that partially purified TFIID fractions from human and Drosophila cells contain coactivators that are dispensable for basal transcription but are required as molecular adaptors between trans-activators and the general transcription initiation machinery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of coactivators associated with the TATA-binding protein that mediate transcriptional activation

TL;DR: Results suggest that one or more of the TAF polypeptides confer coactivator function in NTF-1, a developmentally regulated transcription factor in Drosophila.
