RNA polymerase II transcription corepressor activity
id: GO:0001106
name: RNA polymerase II transcription corepressor activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an RNA polymerase II repressing transcription factor and also with the RNA polymerase II basal transcription machinery in order to stop, prevent, or reduce the frequency, rate or extent of transcription. Cofactors generally do not bind DNA, but rather mediate protein-protein interactions between repressive transcription factors and the basal transcription machinery.
