TATA binding protein(TBP) is one of several proteins which make up the RNA polymerase complex used in transcription. Specifically the TBP belongs to the TFIID complex containing a variety of transcription factors contributing to success of transcription for the RNA polymerase complex. The TFIID focuses on the binding to the DNA used in transcription. The TBP's main function is to interact with the TATA box of the DNA in order to anchor the protein to the TFIID complex, thus allowing for RNA II polymerase to carry out transcription. (TATA element recognition by the TATA box-binding protein has been conserved throughout evolution) | TATA binding protein(TBP) is one of several proteins which make up the RNA polymerase complex used in transcription.
