Introduction

Pfam

Rpb7 bind to Rpb4 to form a heterodimer. This complex is thought to interact with the nascent RNA strand during RNA polymerase II [1]. This family includes the homologs from RNA polymerase I and III. In RNA polymerase I, Rpa43 is at least one of the subunits contacted by the transcription factor TIF-IA [2]. The N terminus of Rpb7p/Rpc25p/MJ0397 has a SHS2 domain that is involved in protein-protein interaction [3].

The eukaryotic RNA polymerase subunits RPB4 and RPB7 form a heterodimer that reversibly associates with the RNA polymerase II core. Archaeal cells contain a single RNAP made up of about 12 subunits, displaying considerable homology to the eukaryotic RNAPII subunits. The RPB4 and RPB7 homologues are called subunits F and E, respectively, and have been shown to form a stable heterodimer. While the RPB7 homologue is reasonably well conserved, the similarity between the eukaryotic RPB4 and the archaeal F subunit is barely detectable [PUBMED:11741548].
