a Initially, Brf1 and TBP are recruited to the N-terminal TPR array of τ131. The distance between the τ95 DBD and the τ131 TPR array serves as a molecular ruler that places TFIIIB within a certain distance upstream of the TSS. b TBP binds and bends the upstream DNA sequence. The lifetime of this complex depends on the upstream DNA sequence engaged. c Bdp1 then enters the complex and stabilizes the bent state. d Recruitment of Pol III and promoter opening displaces τA, freeing the transcribed region.
