abstract：:Highly purified RNA polymerase II was found to be able to weakly recognize the initiator (Inr) present in the adenovirus IVa2 and major late promoters. The association of RNA polymerase II with the Inr was enhanced by the general transcription factors. The Inr was capable of directing the formation of a DNA-protein co...
