Quiz
{Yes or No, The TATA-binding protein (TBP) is a general transcription factor that binds specifically to a DNA sequence called the TATA box. + Yes - No
 * type=""}

{True or False, A dominant group associated with TATA binding proteins differs from a control group in that it rules the treatment of the control group. + TRUE - FALSE
 * type=""}

{Several promoter elements have been previously identified in eukaryotes, but those cannot account for transcription from most RNA polymerase II-transcribed { genes|gene (i) }
 * type="{}"}

{Yes or No, TBP, along with a variety of TBP-associated factors, make up the TFIID, a general transcription factor. + Yes - No
 * type=""}

{True or False, The TATA binding protein is located in the distal promoter. - TRUE + FALSE
 * type=""}

{Which of the following is not a transcriptional characteristic of the TATA binding protein? + located between nucleotides -8 and +2 relative to the transcriptional start site (+1) + G/A/T-G/C+1-G-T/C-G-G-G/A-A-G/C - in eukaryotes - TATA-less genes - a consensus sequence
 * type="[]"}

{Yes or No, As one of the few proteins in the preinitiation complex that binds DNA in a sequence-specific manner, TBP helps position RNA polymerase II over the transcription start site of the gene. + Yes - No
 * type=""}

{Which of the following are phenomena associated with the TATA binding protein? + transcription of A1BG + directs activator-dependent but TFIID-independent transcription + TATA box-less promoters + initiator element + mediator dependence + core promoter
 * type="[]"}

{Yes or No, As one of the few proteins in the preinitiation complex that binds DNA in a sequence-specific manner, TBP helps position RNA polymerase II over the transcription start site of the gene. + Yes - No
 * type=""}

{True or False, TATA binding protein is found in the promoter regions of about 1% of human genes. - TRUE + FALSE
 * type=""}

Hypotheses

 * 1) A1BG is transcribed independent of TBP.
