Abstract:
Recently determined high-resolution structures of eukaryotic transcription factors have illuminated the enzymatic mechanism underlying transcription. Progress has been made in characterising protein-protein interactions between negative cofactors and general transcription factors, and between transrepression domains and corepressors. Structures of sequence-specific transcription factors have revealed further versatility in the mode of interaction with DNA and several have provided new insights into the molecular basis of human disease.

Transcription Elongation Factors
The transcription elongation is regulated via pausing of RNA polymerase on several occasions during transcription. In bacteria, these halts are necessary because the transcription of DNA into mRNA is coupled to the translation of that mRNA into a...
