A general transcription factor forms a stable complex with RNA polymerase B (II). 1987

X M Zheng, and V Moncollin, and J M Egly, and P Chambon

A general transcription factor (BTF3) has been purified from HeLa whole cell extracts and shown to be required for accurate initiation of transcription from the adenovirus-2 major late promoter (Ad2MLP) and other RNA polymerase class B promoters. We show that purified BTF3 (27 kd) binds to RNA polymerase B (II), forming a complex that is transcriptionally active. We found no evidence that purified BTF3 interacts with DNA or is required for the formation of the stable preinitiation complex.

D012321 DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases Enzymes that catalyze DNA template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand one nucleotide at a time. They can initiate a chain de novo. In eukaryotes, three forms of the enzyme have been distinguished on the basis of sensitivity to alpha-amanitin, and the type of RNA synthesized. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992).
