White RJ, Rigby PWJ and Jackson SP. (1992) The TATA-binding protein is a general transcription factor for RNA polymerase III. J. Cell Sci. 16, 1-7.

The TATA-binding protein (TBP) is a principal component of the general factor TFIID and is required for specific transcription by RNA polymerase II. We have shown that TBP is also a general factor for RNA polymerase III.
