DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit RPB3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the POLR2C gene.[1]

This gene encodes the third largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. The product of this gene contains a cysteine rich region and exists as a heterodimer with another polymerase subunit, POLR2J. These two subunits form a core subassembly unit of the polymerase. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 21.[2]

Interactions

POLR2C has been shown to interact with TAF15,[3] POLR2F,[4] POLR2G,[4] POLR2H,[4] POLR2J,[4][5] POLR2K,[4] POLR2L,[4] ATF4,[6] CCHCR1,[7] POLR2A,[4] POLR2B,[4] POLR2E[4] and Myogenin.[5]
