Preinitiation complex
A preinitiation complex (abbreiviated PIC) is an ordered combination of six general transcription factors :
- TFIIA
- TFIIB
- TFIID
- TFIIE
- TFIIF
- TFIIH
The preinitiation complex combines with RNAP near the transcriptional start site, to support a basal level of transcription.
