B)binding of a transcription factor to the transcription bubble,followed by recruitment of additional transcription factors and recruitment of RNA polymerase III
C)binding of the sigma subunit to the start site followed by recruitment of RNA polymerase II
D)binding of RNA polymerase II to the TATA box,followed by recruitment of transcription factors
E)binding of the sigma subunit to promoter elements at -35 and -10,followed by recruitment of the core polymerase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formation of the transcription initiation complex in eukaryotes requires the binding of a transcription factor to the TATA box, followed by recruitment of additional transcription factors and recruitment of RNA polymerase II. This complex then forms the preinitiation complex, which is required for transcription to begin.
