NCIt definition : Transcription factor IIIB 90 kDa subunit (677 aa, 74 kDa) is encoded by the human
BRF1 gene. This protein plays a role in the transcription of both tRNA and snRNA.;
NCIt note : General Transcription Factor 3B 90-kD Subunit functions at different promoters on
tRNA, 5S rRNA, and other small RNA genes. Related to GTF2B (N-terminus), GTF3B contains
a highly charged region and HMG2-related region. Essential for transcription initiation,
GTF3B (C-terminus) binds TBP (collectively, TFIIIB) as one of three RNA polymerase
III transcription factor subunits. Following GTF3A or GTF3C recognition of promoter
elements, GTF3B and RNA polymerase III bind sequentially.;
