Transcription factor (TF) IIIC recruits RNA polymerase (Pol) III to most of its target genes. Recognition of intragenic A- and B-box motifs in transfer RNA (tRNA) genes by TFIIIC modules τA and τB is the first critical step for tRNA synthesis but is mechanistically poorly understood. Here, we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of the six-subunit human TFIIIC complex unbound and bound to a tRNA gene. The τB module recognizes the B-box via DNA shape and sequence readout through the assembl ...[more]
