A highly specific inhibitor that targets the phosphorylation activity of TFIIH is added to an in vitro transcription reaction. Which one of the following steps is most likely to be affected?

A
Binding of RNA polymerase to promoter sequence
B
Promoter clearance
C
Recruitment of TFIID
D
Open promoter complex formation
High-Yield Explanation
Most likely to be affected by inhibitor that targets the phosphorylation activity of TFIIH is promoter clearance Transcription factor II H has two activities : Helicase Kinase -Unwinds the DNA -Phosphorylates the TFIIH- Promoter clearance.
