Polr2i Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable nucleic acid binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to contribute to DNA-directed RNA polymerase activity. Predicted to be involved in maintenance of transcriptional fidelity during transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II; transcription initiation at RNA polymerase II promoter; and transcription-coupled nucleotide-excision repair. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II, core complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blastocyst; integumental system; nervous system; and urinary system. Orthologous to human POLR2I (RNA polymerase II subunit I).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Polr2i often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • transcription regulator
  • zinc ion binding
  • DNA-directed RNA polymerase
  • Zn-ribbon
  • RNA polymerases M/15 Kd subunit
