The RNA polymerase II core promoter

ST Smale, JT Kadonaga - Annual review of biochemistry, 2003 - annualreviews.org

Prevalence of the initiator over the TATA box in human and yeast genes and identification of DNA motifs enriched in human TATA-less core promoters

C Yang, E Bolotin, T Jiang, FM Sladek, E Martinez - Gene, 2007 - Elsevier
The core promoter of eukaryotic genes is the minimal DNA region that recruits the basal
transcription machinery to direct efficient and accurate transcription initiation. The fraction of …

Computational analysis of core promoters in the Drosophila genome

U Ohler, G Liao, H Niemann, GM Rubin - Genome biology, 2002 - Springer
Background The core promoter, a region of about 100 base-pairs flanking the transcription
start site (TSS), serves as the recognition site for the basal transcription apparatus …

NF-Y and the transcriptional activation of CCAAT promoters

D Dolfini, R Gatta, R Mantovani - Critical reviews in biochemistry …, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
The CCAAT box promoter element and NF-Y, the transcription factor (TF) that binds to it,
were among the first cis-elements and trans-acting factors identified; their interplay is …
