Transcription factor II B
Transcription factor IIB (TFIIB) is one of several general transcription factors that make up the RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex.[1] It is encoded by the TFIIB gene.[2][3]
Transcription factor IIB localizes to the nucleus where it forms a complex (the DAB complex) with transcription factors IID and IIA. The protein serves as a bridge between transcription factor IID, which initially recognizes the promoter sequence, and RNA polymerase II.[4] It is involved in the selection of the transcription start site; mutations in TFIIB cause a shift in the transcription start site.[5]

[edit] Interactions
Transcription factor IIB makes protein-protein interactions with the TATA-binding protein (TBP) subunit of transcription factor IID,[6][7] and the RPB1 subunit of RNA polymerase II.[7]
Transcription Factor IIB makes sequence-specific protein-DNA interactions with the B recognition element (BRE), a promoter element flanking the TATA element.[8][9] The role of TFIIB in the vast number of human promoters lacking TATA and BRE elements remains unclear.
Recent study shows that TFIIB links transcription inhibition with the p53-dependent DNA damage response. [10]
