摘要
Recent X-ray and cryo-electron microscopy studies have provided information about the basal eukaryotic transcription machinery and about Mediator, the complex involved in transcription regulation during initiation. On the basis of this structural information, a model describing the minimal transcription complex and its interaction with Mediator has been proposed. The model provides insight into the possible mechanisms of transcription initiation and regulation.
