transcription factor IIIC (TFIIIC)

Function

• the TFIIIC complex has two activities, C1 & C2
• the TFIIIC2 activity complex is only required for transcription of the 'classical' RNA polymerase 3 genes
• the TFIIIC1 activity complex is required for transcription of all RNA polymerase 3 genes

Structure

• the TFIIIC1 activity complex is composed at least of BDP1

More general terms

• general transcription factor (basal transcription factor, transcription initiation factor)
• phosphoprotein
• multisubunit protein

Components

• TFIIIC subcomplex TFIIIC2
