the eWH domain of hTFIIEalpha can replace the first eWH (eWH1) domain of hRPC62 in ATPase and DNA unwinding assays. Our results identify intrinsic enzymatic activities in hRPC62 and hTFIIEalpha.
Title: The hRPC62 subunit of human RNA polymerase III displays helicase activity.
The N-terminal highly acidic region of TFIIEalpha interacts with the pleckstrin homology domain of TFIIH and adopts an extended stringlike structure on the positive groove of the pleckstrin homology domain with two hydrophobic amino acids, Phe387 and Val390, inserting into two shallow hydrophobic pockets of the pleckstrin homology domain.
Title: Dynamics of the Extended String-Like Interaction of TFIIE with the p62 Subunit of TFIIH.
The N-terminal half of TFIIEalpha forms an extended winged helix (WH) domain with an additional helix, followed by a zinc-finger domain. TFIIEbeta contains the WH2 domain, followed by two coiled-coil helices intertwining with TFIIEalpha.

Association of the winged helix motif of the TFIIEalpha subunit of TFIIE with either the TFIIEbeta subunit or TFIIB distinguishes its functions in transcription.

TFIIE is an alpha/beta heterodimer in solution. A model for the quaternary architecture of the complex is proposed that provides a structural framework to discuss the function of TFIIE in the context of RNA polymerase II transcription initiation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
