Overview

The X-ray structure of a ternary complex of Negative Cofactor 2 (NC2), the, TATA box binding protein (TBP), and DNA has been determined at 2.6 A, resolution. The N termini of NC2 alpha and beta resemble histones H2A and, H2B, respectively, and form a heterodimer that binds to the bent DNA, double helix on the underside of the preformed TBP-DNA complex via, electrostatic interactions. NC2beta contributes to inhibition of, TATA-dependent transcription through interactions of its C-terminal alpha, helix with a conserved hydrophobic feature on the upper surface of TBP, which in turn positions the penultimate alpha helix of NC2beta to block, recognition of the TBP-DNA complex by transcription factor IIB. Further, regulatory implications of the NC2 heterodimer structure are discussed.
