RNA polymerase I core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding

Term ID

GO:0001164

Synonyms

• RNA polymerase I CORE element sequence-specific DNA binding
• RNA polymerase I CORE element sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor recruiting transcription factor activity
• transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase I CORE element binding transcription factor recruiting

Definition

Binding to a regulatory region composed of the transcription start site and binding sites for transcription factors of the RNA polymerase I transcription machinery. This site is often referred to as the CORE element. In mammalian cells, the CORE element functions in conjunction with the Upstream Control Element (UCE), while in fungi, protozoa, and plants, the CORE element functions without a UCE. (3)
