RNAP_Rpb7_N_like: This conserved domain represents the N-terminal ribonucleoprotein (RNP) domain of the Rpb7 subunit of eukaryotic RNA polymerase (RNAP) II and its homologs, Rpa43 of eukaryotic RNAP I, Rpc25 of eukaryotic RNAP III, and RpoE (subunit E) of archaeal RNAP. These proteins have, in addition to their N-terminal RNP domain, a C-terminal oligonucleotide-binding (OB) domain. Each of these subunits heterodimerizes with another RNAP subunit (Rpb7 to Rpb4, Rpc25 to Rpc17, RpoE to RpoF, and Rpa43 to Rpa14). The heterodimer is thought to tether the RNAP to a given promoter via its interactions with a promoter-bound transcription factor.The heterodimer is also thought to bind and position nascent RNA as it exits the polymerase complex.
