A systematic analysis of the primary sequences of the polymerase II initiation complex has revealed unusual charge features in the TFII family proteins. In particular, the proteins TFIIA alpha, TFIIE alpha, and TFIIF carry multiple charge clusters and hyper charge runs, sequence features occurring in < 4% of all (available) eukaryotic proteins. Possible implications for these charge structures are discussed in relation to the assembly and function of the polymerase II transcriptional complex.
对聚合酶II起始复合物一级序列的系统分析揭示了TFII家族蛋白中不同寻常的电荷特征。特别是,TFIIAα、TFIIEα和TFIIF蛋白带有多个电荷簇和超电荷序列,这些序列特征在所有(可获得的)真核蛋白中出现的比例不到4%。文中讨论了这些电荷结构与聚合酶II转录复合物的组装和功能之间可能存在的关联。
