Which of the following functions are characteristic of general transcription factors in eukaryotes?
A) They bind to other proteins or to the TATA box.
B) They inhibit RNA polymerase binding to the promoter and begin transcribing.
C) They are sufficient to allow high levels of transcription.
D) They bind to sequences just after the start site of transcription.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

General transcription factors in eukaryotes primarily function to assist in the formation of the transcription initiation complex by binding to specific DNA sequences such as the TATA box or interacting with other proteins, including RNA polymerase II, to facilitate the initiation of transcription.
