1
Q
Basal transcription factor
A
Transcription factors required by the RNA polymerase to form the initiation complex at promoters
Factors are identified as TF X (N is I II or III)
2
Q
Factors required for transcription that do not bind DNA but are required for activators to interact with the basal transcription factors
A
coactivator
3
Q
heterogeneous nuclear RNA
A
RNA that comprises transcripts of nuclear genes made primarily by RNA polymerase II
4
Q
Proteins required for formation of a macromolecular structure but are not themselves part of that structure
A
assembly factors
like TFIII A and TFIIIC
5
Q
TATA box
A
conserved AT rich region found 25 p before start pt in eukaryotic trasncription
