DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription ofDNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Second largest component of RNA polymerase II which synthesizes mRNAprecursors and many functional non-coding RNAs. Proposed to contributeto the polymerase catalytic activity and forms the polymerase activecenter together with the largest subunit. Pol II is the centralcomponent of the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. It iscomposed of mobile elements that move relative to each other. RPB2 ispart of the core element with the central large cleft, the clampelement that moves to open and close the cleft and the jaws that arethought to grab the incoming DNA template. [1]
