TFIIIB
Function:
- the TFIIIB complex has two activities, alpha & beta
- the TFIIIB-alpha & TFIIIB-beta activities are required for transcription of genes with TFIIIC-bound internal promoters & PSE transcription factor-bound external promoters, respectively
- TFIIIB-alpha inhibits transcription by RNA polymerase 3 via its phosphorylation by CK2
- YY1 facilitates formation of TFIIIB-alpha activity complex
Structure:
- the TFIIIB-alpha activity complex is composed of TBP, BDP1, & a complex containing both BRF2 & at least 4 stably associated proteins
- the TFIIIB-beta activity complex is composed of TBP, BDP1, & BRF1
