Structural highlights
Function
TFB5_YEAST Acts as component of the general transcription and DNA repair factor IIH (TFIIH) core, which is essential for both basal and activated transcription, and is involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) of damaged DNA. TFIIH has CTD kinase and DNA-dependent ATPase activity, and is essential for polymerase II transcription in vitro. TFB5 is required for stable recruitment of TFIIH to a promoter, but not for stability of TFIIH subunits.[1] [2]
