| - | - | + | The TATA-Binding protein, TBP, is a factor in the process of Transcription within Eukaryotes. This binding protein is a subunit in the family of TFIID. The function of the TBP is to bind to a DNA sequence which is the TATA box. This allows RNA Polymerase II to bind to the promoter. This is the beginning of the process of Transcription (3). |
