摘要
HOW eukaryotic promoter-specific activator proteins (activators) stimulate transcription is a central question. We have previously shown that an acidic activator can directly interact with the general transcription factor TFIIB and increase its stable assembly into a preinitiation complex1,2. We have proposed that this increase in TFIIB assembly is at least part of the mechanism by which an acidic activator functions1,2. A prediction of this hypothesis is that a TFIIB mutant unable to interact with an acidic activator could not support activated transcription, and here we present experiments that verify this prediction. In conjunction with previous studies, our results argue that interaction between an acidic activator and TFIIB is necessary for transcriptional activation.
