High impact information on TFB2M

  • Here we report that mitochondrial transcription factors B1 (TFB1M) and B2 (TFB2M) are necessary for basal transcription of mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) [1].
  • Surprisingly, we found two different transcription factors (TFB1M and TFB2M) that each interact with mitochondrial RNA polymerase in human mitochondria, whereas there is only one such factor in budding yeast mitochondria [2].
 

Biological context of TFB2M

  • These regions display conserved linkage synteny with human Chr 6 and Chr 1, where TFB1M and TFB2M map [2].
