Global role for coactivator complexes in RNA polymerase II transcription

Transcription. 2019 Feb;10(1):29-36. doi: 10.1080/21541264.2018.1521214. Epub 2018 Oct 9.

Abstract

SAGA and TFIID are related transcription complexes, which were proposed to alternatively deliver TBP at different promoter classes. Recent genome-wide studies in yeast revealed that both complexes are required for the transcription of a vast majority of genes by RNA polymerase II raising new questions about the role of coactivators.

Keywords: RNA polymerase II; SAGA complex; TFIID complex; coactivator; nascent RNA.
