Abstract

The TAF subunits of TFIID mediate activation of subsets of the eukaryotic genome. Recent results demonstrate that TFIID is recruited to promoters in an activator-specific manner involving functional interaction between upstream regulatory elements and the core promoter, thereby coordinating the expression of distinct sets of genes.
