Product Overview
Description | Recombinant Human Transcription Initiation Factor IIB is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Leu316 is expressed with a GST tag at the N-terminus. |
Accession | Q00403 |
Synonym | Transcription Initiation Factor IIB; General Transcription Factor TFIIB; S300-II; GTF2B; TF2B; TFIIB |
Gene Background | Transcription Initiation Factor IIB (TFIIB) is an essential factor for transcription by RNA Polymerase II. TFIIB localizes to the nucleus where it forms a complex (the DAB complex) with transcription factor IID and IIA. TFIIB plays a role as a bridge between IID, which initially recognizes the promoter sequence, and RNA polymerase II. TFIIB is involved in the selection of transcription start site. |

Target Details
Target Function | General transcription factor that plays a role in transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Involved in the pre-initiation complex (PIC) formation and Pol II recruitment at promoter DNA. Together with the TATA box-bound TBP forms the core initiation complex and provides a bridge between TBP and the Pol II-TFIIF complex. Released from the PIC early following the onset of transcription during the initiation and elongation transition and reassociates with TBP during the next transcription cycle. Associates with chromatin to core promoter-specific regions. Binds to two distinct DNA core promoter consensus sequence elements in a TBP-independent manner; these IIB-recognition elements (BREs) are localized immediately upstream (BREu), 5'-[GC][GC][GA]CGCC-3', and downstream (BREd), 5'-[GA]T[TGA][TG][GT][TG][TG]-3', of the TATA box element. Modulates transcription start site selection. Exhibits also autoacetyltransferase activity that contributes to the activated transcription. |
