The Crystal Structure of a Hyperthermophilic Archaeal TATA-box Binding Protein [PDF]
This study analyzes the three-dimensional structure of the TATA-box binding protein (TBP) from the hyperthermophilic archaea Pyrococcus woesei. The crystal structure of P. woesei TBP (PwTBP) was solved at 2.2 A by X-ray diffraction and as expected from sequence homology (36% to 41% identical to eukaryotic TBPs) its overall structure is very similar to ...

Analysis of a hybrid TATA box binding protein originating from mesophilic and thermophilic donor organisms [PDF]
The TATA Box Binding Protein (TBP) is a 20 kD protein that is essential and universally conserved in eucarya and archaea. Especially among archaea, organisms can be found that live below 0°C as well as organisms that grow above 100°C.

ZNF384-Related Fusion Genes in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Zinc finger protein 384 ( ZNF384 ) encodes a C2H2-type zinc finger protein that can function as a transcription factor. ZNF384 rearrangement in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was first reported in 2002.

The Small Nuclear RNA-activating Protein 190 Myb DNA Binding Domain Stimulates TATA Box-binding Protein-TATA Box Recognition [PDF]
Human U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) gene transcription by RNA polymerase III requires cooperative promoter binding involving the snRNA-activating protein complex (SNAP(c)) and the TATA-box binding protein (TBP). To investigate the role of SNAP(c) for TBP function at U6 promoters, TBP recruitment assays were performed using full-length TBP and a mini ...

A Small Trinucleotide Expansion in the TBP Gene Gives Rise to a Sporadic Case of SCA17 with Abnormal Putaminal Findings on MRI [PDF]
A Japanese woman developed gait disturbances at 25 years of age, and subsequently underwent gradual changes in her personality. By the age of 42, she showed clear signs of dementia and cerebellar ataxia, and displayed behavioral abnormalities, choreic ...

Drosophila TAF II 230 and the transcriptional activator VP16 bind competitively to the TATA box-binding domain of the TATA box-binding protein [PDF]
The transcription initiation factor TFIID, consisting of the TATA box-binding protein (TBP) and many TBP-associated factors (TAFs), plays a central role in both basal and activated transcription. An intriguing finding is that the 80-residue N-terminal region of Drosophila TAF II 230 [dTAF
