Background
general transcription factor IIB(GTF2B) Homo sapiens This gene encodes the general transcription factor IIB, one of the ubiquitous factors required for transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II. The protein localizes to the nucleus where it forms a complex (the DAB complex) with transcription factors IID and IIA. Transcription factor IIB serves as a bridge between IID, the factor which initially recognizes the promoter sequence, and RNA polymerase II. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
cofactor:Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.,function:General factor that plays a major role in the activation of eukaryotic genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II.,similarity:Belongs to the TFIIB family.,similarity:Contains 1 TFIIB-type zinc finger.,subunit:Associates with TFIID-IIA (DA complex) to form TFIID-IIA-IIB (DAB-complex) which is then recognized by polymerase II. Interacts with the transcription elongation factor TCEA2. Interacts with HIV-1 Vpr. Interacts with GPBP1 (By similarity). Interacts with Epstein-Barr virus EBNA2.,
