Gene Ontology annotation of sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factors: setting the stage for a large-scale curation effort (2013, background): “These multiprotein complexes comprise general transcription factors, general co-factors (3), RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factors (DbTFs) (4) and a large array of transcriptional regulators that lack DNA-binding activity but exert their regulatory roles thr”
Dynamic reprogramming of chromatin accessibility during Drosophila embryo development (2011, background): “The core promoter is a universal mediator of transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II in eukaryotic cells, and has traditionally been regarded as a downstream target of cell- or condition-specific regulatory signals rather than as an intrinsic determinant of such regulation [57].”
Nucleosome positioning and gene regulation: advances through genomics (2009, background): “In PIC assembly, general transcription factors , such as TATA-binding protein ( TBP ) or TFIID, bind to core promoter elements and position other initiation factors, such as TFIIB and TFIIF, which then direct Pol II to initiate transcription at the initiator element (INR element) (the consens”
The role of chromatin during transcription. (2007, background): “This event leads to the recruitment of the adaptor complexes such as SAGA (Green, 2005) or mediator, both of which in turn facilitate binding of general transcription factors (GTFs; Thomas and Chiang, 2006).”
