Single-molecule Microscopy Reveals That TFIIE Subunits Dynamically Interact With Preinitiation Complexes in a Manner Impacted by TFIIH.
Article in Journal of molecular biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) requires general transcription factors that bind with Pol II at the promoters of protein-coding genes to form preinitiation complexes (PICs). Among these is TFIIE, which recruits TFIIH to the PIC and stimulates the kinase and translocase activities of TFIIH, thereby regulating the fate of formed PICs. In this study, we used a purified reconstituted human Pol II transcription system and single molecule total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy to monitor TFIIE binding dynamics in PICs under different conditions in real time. We observed dynamic interactions of the two subunits of TFIIE (TFIIEα and TFIIEβ) with PICs, consistent with rapid on/off binding as a heterodimer. TFIIH exclusion increased the rates of association and dissociation for both subunits, and enabled TFIIEα to associate with PICs more often than TFIIEβ; hence, TFIIEα and TFIIEβ behave asynchronously in the absence of TFIIH. Additionally, two disease-related TFIIEβ point mutations destabilized TFIIEβ and altered its kinetic behaviors within PICs. Our results contribute to an emerging model that PICs are not static assemblies and highlight important connections between the structural arrangement and kinetic behaviors of GTFs in PICs.
