POLR2F
RNA polymerase II, I and III subunit F
Pathway candidate — not linked to PFS or PSSD by any record here
Gene summary
A protein-coding gene on chromosome 22 (basal transcription machinery). Encodes the sixth largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. In yeast, this polymerase subunit, in combination with at least two other subunits, forms a structure that stabilizes the transcribing polymerase on the DNA template.

Protein reference (UniProt)
- Protein
DNA-directed RNA polymerases I, II, and III subunit RPABC2
- Function
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Common component of RNA polymerases I, II, and III which synthesize ribosomal RNA precursors, mRNA precursors and many functional non-coding RNAs, and small RNAs, such as 5S rRNA and tRNAs, respectively. Pol II is the central component of the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Pols are composed of mobile elements that move relative to each other. In Pol II, POLR2F/RPABC2 is part of the clamp element and together with parts of POLR2A/RPB1 and POLR2B/RPB2 forms a pocket to which the POLR2D/RPB4-POLR2G/RPB7 subcomplex binds.

Why its pathway is in the library
Core RNA polymerase II machinery; general cellular function with no direct post-drug-syndrome link established.
Written for the whole basal transcription family, not for POLR2F specifically.
Mentioned in 0 corpus records
No corpus record names POLR2F directly yet. It is in the library because it sits in a pathway the corpus tracks (Basal transcription).
