Transcription factor IIA derepresses TATA-binding protein (TBP)-associated factor inhibition of TBP-DNA binding.
The interaction of the general transcription factor (TF) IIA with TFIID is required for transcription activation in vitro. TFIID consists of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and TBP associated factors (TAFIIs). TFIIA binds directly to TBP and stabilizes its interaction with TATA-containing DNA. In this work, we present evidence that TAFIIs inhibit TBP-DNA and TBP-TFIIA binding, and that TFIIA sti...
متن کاملMutational analysis of BTAF1–TBP interaction: BTAF1 can rescue DNA-binding defective TBP mutants
The BTAF1 transcription factor interacts with TATA-binding protein (TBP) to form the B-TFIID complex, which is involved in RNA polymerase II transcription. Here, we present an extensive mapping study of TBP residues involved in BTAF1 interaction. This shows that residues in the concave, DNA-binding surface of TBP are important for BTAF1 binding. In addition, BTAF1 interacts with residues in hel...
متن کاملNucleosome Sliding via TBP DNA Binding In Vivo
Here, we show that a nucleosome obstructing transcription from the IFN-beta promoter slides in vivo in response to virus infection, thus exposing the previously masked TATA box and the initiation site, a requirement for transcriptional activation. Our experiments also revealed that this mode of chromatin remodeling is a two-step reaction. First, the enhanceosome recruits the SWI/SNF chromatin-r...
متن کاملKinetic preference for oriented DNA binding by the yeast TATA-binding protein TBP.
In solution, the TATA box binding protein from S. cerevisiae (yTBP) is only minimally oriented when bound to the adenovirus major late promoter (AdMLP) and the yeast CYC1 promoter. At equilibrium, approximately 60% of the complexes are assembled in the orientation observed within crystal structures; 40% are assembled in the opposite orientation. Here we use stopped-flow fluorescence resonance e...
متن کاملA Regulated Two-Step Mechanism of TBP Binding to DNA A Solvent-Exposed Surface of TBP Inhibits TATA Box Recognition
The TATA box binding protein TBP plays a universally important role in eukaryotic nuclear transcription. By mutagenesis, we have discovered a solvent-exposed surface of the structured TBP core domain that is important for inhibition of the DNA binding and DNA-bending activities of full-length wild-type TBP. Full-length wild-type TBP initially binds the TATA box to form an unstable complex conta...
