transcription coactivator binding

Term ID

GO:0001223

Synonyms

• RNA polymerase II transcription coactivator binding

Definition

Binding to a transcription coactivator, a protein involved in positive regulation of transcription via protein-protein interactions with transcription factors and other proteins that positively regulate transcription. Transcription coactivators do not bind DNA directly, but rather mediate protein-protein interactions between activating transcription factors and the basal transcription machinery.
