Article Synopsis
- Eukaryotic promoters often have multiple transcription start sites (TSSs), and it's unclear how these are specified across species, particularly in yeast.
- Researchers investigated the effects of altering polymerase II (Pol II) and general transcription factors (GTFs) on TSS usage in yeast, finding that changes widely impacted TSS distributions across different promoter classes.
- The study supports a "scanning model," suggesting that Pol II activity and scanning rates, alongside promoter sequences, shape the landscape of TSS utilization in yeast, likening the process to a "shooting gallery."
