Abstract
The core promoter of eukaryotic genes is structurally and functionally diverse and contributes to the combinatorial control of gene-specific transcription. Recent findings identifying specific coactivators and architectural proteins as core promoter-specific basal cofactors for RNA polymerase II suggest possible mechanisms for the core promoter selectivity of certain regulators and enhancers.Keywords: HMG proteins; Mediator; RNA polymerase II; TFIID; coactivators; core promoter-selective transcription; general transcription factors; positive and negative transcription cofactors
