SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for BDP1

The TFIIIB complex is a initiation factor for RNA polymerase III, which transcribes tRNAs, most small nuclear RNAs, and 5S rRNA (reviewed in 5). TFIIIB, comprised of TBP (Spt15p), Brf1p, and Bdp1p, directs pol III to the transcriptional start site of these genes and is itself recruited to a location immediately upstream of the transcriptional start site by the TFIIIC complex (6). TFIIIB binds to TFIIIC mainly through contact between TFIIIB subunits Brf1p and Bdp1p and the TFIIIC subunit Tfc4p, and between TBP and the TFIIIC subunit Tfc8p (7, 8). The TFIIIB footprint on promoter DNA is influenced by the DNA-binding site preferences of the TBP subunit and by the non-histone chromatin proteins Nhp6Ap and Nhp6bp (9 and reviewed in 10). TFIIIB function is also important for promoter opening (via the Brf1p and Bdp1p subunits), reinitiation of pol III transcription, and targeting and efficiency of Ty3 retrotransposition (11, 12, and 13). TFIIIB is also the target of Maf1-mediated repression of pol III transcription (reviewed in 14).
