Synonyms: | RNA binding transcription factor activity, RNA binding transcription regulator activity, transcription factor activity |
Definition: | A transcription regulator activity that modulates the transcription of specific gene sets via selective and non-covalent binding to a specific RNA sequence. This function is known to occur in phages and viruses, for example the lambda N and the HIV tat proteins are necessary to allow RNA polymerase to read through terminator sequences. |
