TBPL2/TFIIA complex establishes the maternal transcriptome through oocyte-specific promoter usage

The vertebrate TATA-binding protein (TBP) paralogue (TBPL2) is only expressed in growing oocytes, where TBP is absent. Here the authors highlight a unique role for the TBPL2/TFIIA complex in the establishment of the oocyte transcriptome by using a specific TSS recognition code.
