GO molecular function ontology term - GO:0001164 - RNA polymerase I core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding

Term summary

ID

GO:0001164

Name

RNA polymerase I core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding

Ontology or CV name

GO molecular function

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.
