- About how start selection occurs, scanning of DNA through the PIC

- About the role of TFIID, and various TAF subunits, with respect to both basal and specific txn
- QUOTE: "Thus, the debate over whether TFIID is a transcriptional coactivator or core promoter specificity factor, and whether TFIID or mediator is the more universal cofactor, seems irrelevant. Both complexes promote activator-dependent and activator-independent transcription."
- Woychik NA, Hampsey M. 2002. The RNA polymerase II machinery: structure illuminates function. Cell. 108(4):453-63.
- relevant to def of coactivator - QUOTE: "The TAF subunits of TFIID were initially defined as coactivators, mediating the interaction between transcriptional activators and the core machinery (Verrijzer and Tjian, 1996)."
- Lee SK, et al. 2010. Activation of a Poised RNAPII-dependent Promoter Requires Both SAGA and Mediator. Genetics ()
- relevant to def of coactivator - QUOTE: "Coactivators, like the multiprotein complexes SAGA, Mediator and TFIID, associate with the relevant promoter via protein-protein interactions with sequence-specific DNA binding proteins (BROWN et al. 2001; GOVIND et al. 2005; LIU et al. 2009; THAKUR et al. 2008; ZHANG et al. 2004). Coactivators facilitate transcription by recruiting RNAPII and/or enhancing the formation of the preinitiation complex by a variety of mechanisms (BAKER and GRANT 2007; KORNBERG 2005; NAAR et al. 2001; TORCHIA et al. 1998)."

- About the Maf1 repressor of Pol III
- They show that phosphorylation of Maf1 has two effects: 1) decreased Maf1-mediated repression of Pol III and 2) stimulation of Msn5 binding and subsequent export of Maf1 to the cytoplasm
