Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Elemental activities, such as catalysis or binding, describing the actions of a gene product at the molecular level. A given gene product may exhibit one or more molecular functions. Any function that supports transcription of genes by RNA polymerase II, and is not specific to a particular gene or gene set. Functions to initiate or regulate RNA polymerase II transcription. Functions to initiate or regulate RNA polymerase II transcription by binding an enhancer region of DNA. Functions to enable the transcription of specific, or specific sets, of genes by RNA polymerase II. Plays a role in regulating transcription; may bind a promoter or enhancer DNA sequence or interact with a DNA-binding transcription factor. Any function that supports basal (unregulated) transcription of genes by core RNA polymerase II. Five general transcription factors are necessary and sufficient for such basal transcription in yeast: TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF, TFIIH and TATA-binding protein (TBF).
