Term Information

Accession
GO:0001099
Name
basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery binding
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
basal RNAP II transcription machinery binding
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Binding to a component of the basal transcription machinery for RNA polymerase II which is composed of the RNA polymerase II core enzyme, a multisubunit eukaryotic nuclear RNA polymerase typically composed of twelve subunits, and the basal RNA polymerase II transcription factors, 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.
