Abstract
Essential components of the eukaryotic transcription apparatus include RNA polymerase II, a common set of initiation factors, and a Mediator complex that transmits regulatory information to the enzyme. Insights into mechanisms of transcription have been gained by three-dimensional structures for many of these factors and their complexes, especially for yeast RNA polymerase II at atomic resolution.
