Factors involved in transcription process

Eukaryotic transcription
Transcription factor (TF) Functions
TFIID TATA binding It recognizes
Protein (TBP) TATA box
Subunit
TBP associated Regulate DNA
Factors Binding by TBP
TFIIB Recognizes TFIIB recognition elements (BRE); positions RNA polymerase (RNA pol)
TFIIF Stabilizes RNA pol; attracts TFIIE and TFIIF
TFIIE Regulates TFIIH
TFIIH Unwinds DNA at transcription start point; releases RNA polymerase from promoter
