gene: rpoa-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; DNA-directed 5'-3' RNA polymerase activity; and ribonucleoside binding activity. Predicted to contribute to RNA polymerase I activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleolus. Expressed in several structures, including intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Treacher Collins syndrome 4. Is an ortholog of human POLR1B (RNA polymerase I subunit B).
