Transcription by RNA polymerase III (pol III) is a complex molecular process orchestrated by the two main transcription factors, TFIIIB and TFIIIC. The TFIIIB complex can be recruited by TFIIIC to upstream DNA and form an exceptionally kinetically stable TFIIIB-DNA complex, which then recruits the Pol III enzymatic complex and helps maintain it for multiple transcription cycles in a process called facilitated recycling [1]. Saccharomyces cerevisiae TFIIIB is a complex of three subunits, the TATA box-binding protein TBP, the TFIIB-related factor BRF, and the beta'' protein.
