Analysis of TFIIA function In vivo: evidence for a role in TATA-binding protein recruitment and gene-specific activation.

abstract：:Cultured animal cells rearrange foreign DNA very efficiently by homologous recombination. The individual steps that constitute the mechanism(s) of homologous recombination in transfected DNA are as yet undefined. In this study, we examined the topological requirements by using the genome of simian virus 40 (SV40) as a...
