Which of the following eukaryotic transcription factors exhibits sequence specificity for the TATA box?
A)TFIIB
B)TFIIC
C)TFIID/TBP
D)TFIIH

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TFIID/TBP (Transcription Factor IID/TATA-binding protein) is the eukaryotic transcription factor that specifically binds to the TATA box, a DNA sequence located near the transcription start site of many genes. TFIIB and TFIIC also play important roles in transcription initiation but do not have sequence specificity for the TATA box. TFIIH is involved in transcription initiation and also in DNA repair.
