Pre Initiation Complex (PIC)
In eukaryotic gene expression the Pre Initiation Complex (PIC) mediates the binding between the genome's promoter and RNA polymerase. Each type of RNA polymerase has a different PIC
Subunits
The complexicity of PIC varies between the types of eukaryotic RNA polymerase. For polymerases I and III the complex consists of only a few subunits.
For polymerase II the PIC is far more complex. It consists of 6 General Transcription Factors (GTF). TFIID is the core recognition protein and binds to the TATA box
