Agonist-specific conformational changes in the yeast alpha-factor pheromone receptor.

abstract：:To explore the diversity in the mechanisms of basal transcription by RNA polymerase II, we have employed a novel biochemical approach that involves perturbation of the transcription reaction with exogenously added TFIIB or TATA box-binding protein (TBP). Under these conditions, we observe promoter-selective inhibition...
