Introduction

Pfam

This family includes the Rpb4 protein. This family also includes C17 (aka CGRP-RCP) is an essential subunit of RNA polymerase III. C17 forms a subcomplex with C25 [5] which is likely to be the counterpart of subcomplex Rpb4/7 in Pol II [4].

InterPro

This entry includes RNA polymerase II subunit RPB4 and its paralogue, RPC9 (also known as Rpc17 in budding yeasts), a subunit of RNA polymerase III [PUBMED:12391170]. The Rpb4 and Rpb7 subunits of yeast RNA polymerase II form a heterodimeric complex essential for promoter-directed transcription initiation. The Rpb4-Rpb7 complex is not required for stable recruitment of polymerase to active preinitiation complexes, suggesting that Rpb4-Rpb7 mediates an essential step subsequent to promoter binding [PUBMED:11087726]. RPC9 may be involved in the recruitment of pol III by the preinitiation complex [PUBMED:11433012, PUBMED:10611227].
