transcription corepressor binding

Term ID

GO:0001222

Synonyms

• RNA polymerase II transcription corepressor binding

Definition

Binding to a transcription corepressor, a protein involved in negative regulation of transcription via protein-protein interactions with transcription factors and other proteins that negatively regulate transcription. Transcription corepressors do not bind DNA directly, but rather mediate protein-protein interactions between repressing transcription factors and the basal transcription machinery.
