Here, we present a 3.3-Å-resolution cryo-EM structure of yeast Maf1 bound to Pol III, establishing that Maf1 sequesters Pol III elements involved in transcription initiation and binds the mobile C34 winged helix 2 domain, sealing off the active site. The Maf1 binding site overlaps with that of TFIIIB in the preinitiation complex. |
