TFIIB is only ∼9 Å away from the 5'-end of a trimeric RNA primer in a functional RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex.

Recent X-ray crystallographic studies of Pol II in complex with the general transcription factor (GTF) IIB have begun to provide insights into the mechanism of transcription initiation. These structures have also shed light on the architecture of the transcription preinitiation complex (PIC). Howeve...
