RNA polymerase II transcription coactivator activity

id: GO:0001105
name: RNA polymerase II transcription coactivator activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) regulatory transcription factor and also with the RNAP II basal transcription machinery in order to increase the frequency, rate or extent of transcription. Cofactors generally do not bind DNA, but rather mediate protein-protein interactions between activating transcription factors and the basal RNAP II transcription machinery.
