The general transcription factor IID (TFIID) plays a central role in the initiation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription by nucleating pre-initiation complex (PIC) assembly at the core promoter. TFIID comprises the TATA-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAF1-13), which specifically interact with a variety of core promoter DNA sequences.
We found 59 up-regulated and 75 down-regulated genes in the K562-SATB1 cells that were not observed in the K562 cells. Partial genes that have special biological functions are listed in Table 1.
