title: A model for the interaction of nucleic acids with transcription factor IIIA.
abstract: Based on published biochemical evidence which examines the interaction of Xenopus transcription factor IIIA (TFIIIA) with 5 S RNA genes and 5 S RNA, this paper proposes that the formation of a 5 S RNA type stem-loop structure in the DNA occurs during the binding of TFIIIA to 5 S genes.
