Term Information

Accession
GO:0001098
Name
basal transcription machinery binding
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
None
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Binding to a component of the basal transcription machinery which is composed of the RNA polymerase core enzyme and the basal transcription factor(s), the minimal set of factors required for formation of the preinitiation complex (PIC) by the RNA polymerase. Source: GOC:txnOH
Comment
Note that the definition of basal, or general, transcription factors has typically been done at a small number of well characterized activator-independent promoters. At an activator-dependent promoter, one or more additional factors are generally required in addition to the basal factors.
