Commitment of a TATA box-driven class II gene to transcription requires binding of only one transcription factor, TFIID. Additional factors (TFIIB, TFIIE, and RNA polymerase II) do not remain associated with the TFIID-promoter complex during the course of transcription. This indicates that there are two intermediates along the transcription reaction pathway which may be potential targets for the regulation of gene expression.

D012319 RNA Polymerase II A DNA-dependent RNA polymerase present in bacterial, plant, and animal cells. It functions in the nucleoplasmic structure and transcribes DNA into RNA. It has different requirements for cations and salt than RNA polymerase I and is strongly inhibited by alpha-amanitin. EC 2.7.7.6.
