Transcription of nearly all yeast RNA polymerase II-transcribed genes is dependent on transcription factor TFIID

L Warfield, S Ramachandran, T Baptista, D Devys… - Molecular cell, 2017 - cell.com
Previous studies suggested that expression of most yeast mRNAs is dominated by either
transcription factor TFIID or SAGA. We re-examined the role of TFIID by rapid depletion of S …
