Radical mutations reveal TATA-box binding protein surfaces required for activated transcription in vivo.

abstract：:How RNA-binding proteins recognize specific sets of target mRNAs remains poorly understood because current approaches depend primarily on sequence information. In this study, we demonstrate that specific recognition of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) by RNA-binding proteins requires the correct spatial positioning of these seq...
