Abstract
Transcriptional regulation depends on the appropriate set of positive and negative regulating signals in order to provide the correct gene expression. In vitro studies in eukaryotic gene expression over the last few years have provided a wealth of information about new factors involved in the regulation of genes. However, the dissection of this mechanism requires the addition of well-characterized general transcription factors; with the exception of TFIID and TFIIH, all others can easily be expressed in a recombinant form. Here we provide a simple methodology to obtain partially purified transcriptionally active TFIIH free from other general transcription factors and active in transcription.
