p.4 left column bottom paragraph:"The distance between the TATA box and TSS is almost always about 30 bp for TATA box-containing genes [primary source]. Consistent with this, the structural model of the minimal open promoter complex constructed from the pol II–TFIIB crystal structure defines a template strand path of approximately 30 residues from the TATA box to the catalytic site [ref 9] and [ref 10]. The notable exception is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in which the distance from the TATA box to the TSS is 40–120 bp [BNID 111572]." |
