Which of this is a cis binding element?(a) TAF(b) TBP(c) TFIIF(d) TFIIHThe question was posed to me in my homework.Question is from Transcription in Eukaryotes : Transcription Factors in chapter Gene Expression : Transcription Prokaryotes of Cytogenetics

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (b) TBP

To explain I WOULD say: TBP or TATA binding protein is the PART of TFIID complex that recognizes and BINDS the TATA consensus SEQUENCE in the promoter (cis element) of eukaryotic genes. The remaining options are also related to eukaryotic transcription but they have protein-protein interactions.
