| Type: | Domain | Name: | RNA polymerase Rpb7, N-terminal |
| Description: | 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 [].This entry represents the N-terminal, heterodimerisation domain of RPB7. | Short Name: | RNA_pol_Rpb7_N |
