DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit RPB9

UniProtKB accession:  Q32P73

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Component of RNA polymerase II which synthesizes mRNA precursors and many functional non-coding RNAs. Pol II is the central component of the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. It is composed of mobile elements that move relative to each other. POLR2I/RPB9 is part of the upper jaw surrounding the central large cleft and thought to grab the incoming DNA template.
