RNA polymerase II core promoter proximal region sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity involved in preinitiation complex assembly

id: GO:0001074
name: RNA polymerase II core promoter proximal region sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity involved in preinitiation complex assembly
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a sequence of DNA that is in cis with and relatively close to a core promoter for RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) in order to promote assembly of the transcriptional preinitiation complex (PIC), the formation of which is a prerequisite for transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter.
