The TATA box seems to help position RNA polymerase by marking a point just before the point at which transcription begins.
The promoter region contains this DNA sequence that RNA recognizes and, with other promotion/transcription factors, binds to.
RNA polymerase bind specific regions of DNA called promoters. The RNA polymerase holoenzyme is guided to promoters by interactions between members of the holoenyzme and specific DNA sequences such as the TATA box.
The TATA box assists in directing RNA polymerase II to the initiation site downstream on DNA. RNA polymerases bind to regions of DNA known as promoters. Promoter regions are comprised of the initiation site and numerous nucleotides upstream from the initiation site. The TATA box is necessary for transcription because RNA polymersase II cannot recognize the initiation sites on its own.

True, the TATA box helps ensure transcription in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is found in the promoter region of genes.
General Transcription Factors (GTF). TFIID (binds to DNA first at TATA box), TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIIF, TFIIE and TFIIH.

A SH=hort nucleotid esequence in the promoter 25 to 35 bp upstream to the transcription initiation site of eukaryotic genes to which polymerase binds is called TATA BOX. IT IS CALLED AS PRIBNO BOX IN CASE OF PROKARYOTES and called as HOGNESS BOX in case of EUKARYOTES.. It has conserved squence of tataata (I am a ifferent person) As far as I know, TATA box is located only in eukaryotic genes and genes of archae. It is on -25 position from the transcription initiation site. Also, it is TATAAA sequence with small variations (more A can be added). It's also called Goldberg-Hogness box. In contrast, in prokaryots, this sequence is called Pribnow box. Its location is at -10. It consists of TATAAT sequence with small variations.
So in Transcription there are three main steps: Initiation, elongation and termination. The one I'm focusing on is Initiation. In eukaryote, proteins called transcription factors mediate the initiation of transcription by RNA Polymerse II. A eukaryotic promoter commonly includes a TATA box, a nucleotide sequence containing "Thymine-Adenine-thymine-adenine", about 25 nucleotides upstream from the transcriptional start point.

when RNA Polymerase meet the correct promoter(TATA box), it will bind at that region and then sigma factor will also bind to the RNA Polymerase.once ATP give energy, sigma factor will dissoiates from RNA Polymerase and the enzyme start to unwind the double helix
Transcription factors bind in this order: D, A, B, F, E, H, J.RNA polymerase (usually RNA pol II for transcription fo protein coding genese) binds with TFIIF.DetailsInitially, TFIID binds to the TATA box of the DNA strand, if present, since the TBP is part of the TFIID complex. The shape of TBP causes large changes in the shape of the DNA molecule, unwinding it greatly. This allows TFIIA and then TFIIB (with TFIID) to bind to the promoter region, followed by TFIIF (similar to sigma factor in prokaryotes) with RNA polymerase II, then TFIIE, which enables the polymerase to move along the DNA easily, and TFIIH, which contains a helicase to unwind the DNA and an enzyme region to phosphorylate (initiating elongation) a region of the polymerase II enzyme known as the C terminal domain (which is unique to this form of polymerase II). This forms a complex known as the basal transcription apparatusOther transcription factors may also bind depending on the specific gene being transcribed. TBP binds specifically to the TATA box, and in the case of the large number of genes that do not use the TATA consensus sequence this will be replaced by that gene's alternative.For further information on the structure of the completed complex, I recommend the structure of the RNA polymerase II elongation complex to 3.3 angstroms as determined by Gnatt et al.
The TATA box (also called Goldberg-Hogness box) is a DNA sequence. The polymerase can then recognize this multi-protein complex and bind to it.
