E. Wyszko et al., MAIZE TF IIIA - THE FIRST TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR IIIA FROM MONOCOTYLEDONS - PURIFICATION AND PROPERTIES, Acta Biochimica Polonica, 44(3), 1997, pp. 579-589
Purification and properties of transcription factor IIIA (TF IIIA) fro
m maize pollen (Zea mays L.) are presented for the first time. The pur
ified protein has a molecular mass of about 35 kDa and exibits binding
affinity toward both 5S rRNA and 55 rRNA gene. It also facilitates tr
anscription of the 55 rRNA gene in a HeLa cell extract.
