In budding yeasts, Brf1 forms the TFIIIB complex with TATA-binding protein (TBP) and Bdp1 [1]. The TFIIIB complex can be recruited to the Pol III promoters and form an exceptionally kinetically stable TFIIIB-DNA complex, which then recruits the Pol III enzymatic complex and helps maintain it for multiple transcription cycles in a process called facilitated recycling [2].

Prokaryotes contain a single RNA polymerase compared to three in eukaryotes (not including mitochondrial. and chloroplast polymerases). Rpb2 is the second largest subunit of the RNA polymerase. This domain forms one of the two distinctive lobes of the Rpb2 structure. This domain is also known as the lobe domain [1].
