Description:
Cloning of the mammalian basic transcription factors serves as a major step in understanding the mechanism of transcription initiation. The 62-kilodalton component (p62) of one of these transcription factors, BTF2 was cloned and overexpressed. A monoclonal antibody to this polypeptide inhibited transcription in vitro. Immunoaffinity experiments demonstrated that the 62-kilodalton component is closely associated with the other polypeptides present in the BTF2 factor. Sequence similarity suggests that BTF2 may be the human counterpart of RNA polymerase II initiation factor b from yeast.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fischer, L -- Gerard, M -- Chalut, C -- Lutz, Y -- Humbert, S -- Kanno, M -- Chambon, P -- Egly, J M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Sep 4;257(5075):1392-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratoire de Genetique Moleculaire des Eucaryotes, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Unite 184, Faculte de Medecine, Strasbourg, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1529339" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
