cyclin box found in B-related factor 2 (BRF-2) and similar proteins BRF-2, also called transcription factor IIIB 50 kDa subunit (TFIIIB50), or BRFU, is a general activator of RNA polymerase (Pol) III transcription and is required for Pol III transcription of genes with promoter elements upstream of the initiation sites. It recruits Pol III to type III gene-external promoters, including the U6 spliceosomal RNA and selenocysteine tRNA genes. BRF-2 contains one cyclin box. The cyclin box fold is generally a protein binding domain, but binds DNA in BRF-2.
