Background
The human Transcription Factor IIE (TFIIE) is composed of 56 kDa (α) and 34 kDa (β) subunits and is shown to be a heterotetramer (1, 2).
TFIIE binds to RNA polymerase II in solution and joins the preinitiation complex probably concomitant with RNA polymerase II and TFIIF (3).
The His tagged recombinant protein is purified from an E. coli strain that contains the coding sequence of human TFIIE β subunit under the control of T7 promoter (5).
Both subunits are required to reconstitute the functional transcription factor IIE.
