Also known as RPB3
Summary
POLR2C (RNA polymerase II subunit C, HGNC:9189) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16q21, encoding DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit RPB3 (P19387). Core component of RNA polymerase II (Pol II), a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase which synthesizes mRNA precursors and many functional non-coding RNAs using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 100.0% of cancer cell lines).
This gene encodes the third largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. The product of this gene contains a cysteine rich region and exists as a heterodimer with another polymerase subunit, POLR2J. These two subunits form a core subassembly unit of the polymerase. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 21.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 5)
- interaction between RPB3 and ATF4 (PMID:12860379)
- Rpb3 is a potential nuclear target of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (PMID:16455777)
- eEF1gamma, in addition to its role in translation elongation complex, is involved in regulating Vimentin gene by contacting both pol II and the Vimentin promoter region and shuttling/nursing the Vimentin mRNA (PMID:21217813)
- These findings suggest that N-terminus of Rpb3 selectively inhibits Rpb3-high-expression hepatocellular carcinoma cells proliferation. N-terminus of Rpb3 may be useful in treating patients diagnosed with Rpb3-high-expression hepatocellular carcinoma. (PMID:25211001)

Function. Core component of RNA polymerase II (Pol II), a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase which synthesizes mRNA precursors and many functional non-coding RNAs using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) core complex consisting of 12 subunits: a ten-subunit catalytic core composed of POLR2A/RPB1, POLR2B/RPB2, POLR2C/RPB3, POLR2I/RPB9, POLR2J/RPB11, POLR2E/RPABC1, POLR2F/RPABC2, POLR2H/RPABC3, POLR2K/RPABC4 and POLR2L/RPABC5 and a mobile stalk composed of two subunits POLR2D/RPB4 and POLR2G/RPB7, protruding from the core and functioning primarily in transcription initiation. Part of Pol II(G) complex, in which Pol II core associates with an additional subunit POLR2M; unlike conventional Pol II, Pol II(G) functions as a transcriptional repressor. Part of TBP-based Pol II pre-initiation complex (PIC), in which Pol II core assembles with general transcription factors and other specific initiation factors including GTF2E1, GTF2E2, GTF2F1, GTF2F2, TCEA1, ERCC2, ERCC3, GTF2H2, GTF2H3, GTF2H4, GTF2H5, GTF2A1, GTF2A2, GTF2B and TBP; this large multi-subunit PIC complex mediates DNA unwinding and targets Pol II core to the transcription start site where the first phosphodiester bond forms. Interacts with PTPN6; this interaction promotes the recruitment of RNA pol II to the PCK1 promoter.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Similarity. Belongs to the archaeal Rpo3/eukaryotic RPB3 RNA polymerase subunit family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 162 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
