obsolete TBP-class protein binding involved in viral suppression of host transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter (obsolete GO:0039603)
OBSOLETE. Selective and non-covalent interaction of a viral protein with a member of the class of TATA-binding proteins (TBP) in the host, including any of the TBP-related factors (TRFs), which contributes to the viral-suppression of assembly of the RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex (PIC) at an RNA polymerase II promoter region of a host DNA template.
