We show that the transactivating COOH terminus of the p65 subunit of human transcription factor NF-kappa B directly binds the general transcription factors TFIIB and TATA-binding protein (TBP) in vitro. Interaction of p65 with TFIIB required the most COOH-terminal sequence repeat within TFIIB. A functional interaction of TFIIB with p65 was evident from assays in yeast cells. Cotransfection experiments in COS cells revealed that only overexpression of TBP was able to further stimulate p65-dependent transactivation of a reporter gene. The coexpression of neither TBP nor TFIIB was able to relieve squelching, indicating the involvement of additional factors in transactivation by p65. A cell-free assay using highly purified factors revealed a specific transcriptional stimulation through the COOH-terminal activation domain of NF-kappa B by at least one cofactor, PC1, isolated from HeLa cells. These data show that the potent acidic transactivation domains in the COOH terminus of p65 are able to functionally recruit various components of the basic transcription machinery as well as coactivators.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D002474 Cell-Free System A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology.
