Do the transcription factors for RNA polymerase II bind to the TATA box as a single initiation complex, or one at a time?

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: The transcription factors for RNA polymerase II bind to the TATA box in sequence, one at a time. This sequence is as follows: TFIID (consisting of TBP and TAFs), TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIIF, and RNA polymerase II, TFIIE, and TFIIH.
