Description
Description
The general transcription factor complex Transcription factor II D (TFIID) plays an important role in recruiting the transcription machinery to core promoters. TFIID is a complex composed of TBP and several TBP-associated factors. (Adapted from FBrf0125116 and FBrf0156065).
Notes on Group

Hel89B is not included in the TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR II D gene group. The Hel89B helicase seems to play a gene-specific role in transcription regulation, rather than acting as a general transcription factor (FBrf0147041, FBrf0207888).
