abstract：:Transcription factor IIA (TFIIA) is a necessary component of many RNA polymerase II transcription complexes. Assembly of the transcription complex begins when TFIIA interacts with the promoter. We have previously purified wheat germ TFIIA to homogeneity and demonstrated that it substitutes for human TFIIA in a human i...
