Yeast TAF(sub II)145 functions as a core promoter selectivity factor, not a general coactivator
Article Abstract:
A differential display was employed to determine the small subset of yeast genes which needs yTAF(sub II)145 for in vivo transcription. Promoter-mapping analysis indicate that the core promoter is the gene region that is dependent on yTAF(sub II)145, and not the upstream activating sequence with activator-binding sites. Results also show that the core promoter recognition and selection function of yTAF(sub II)145 does not require upstream activators.

Compartmentalization of eukaryotic gene expression: Causes and effects
Article Abstract:
Eukaryotic structural gene expression involves gene transcription and transport of processed mRNA to the cytoplasm. There are indications that the eukaryotic nucleus may be functionally compartmentalized, and a model whereby the expression of genes directs the reorganization of nuclear components is supported.
