Function

DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Common component of RNA polymerases I and III which synthesize ribosomal RNA precursors and short non-coding RNAs including 5S rRNA, snRNAs, tRNAs and miRNAs, respectively. POLR1C/RPAC1 is part of the polymerase core and may function as a clamp element that moves to open and close the cleft.

Involvement in disease

Treacher Collins syndrome 3

TCS3

A form of Treacher Collins syndrome, a disorder of craniofacial development. Treacher Collins syndrome is characterized by a combination of bilateral downward slanting of the palpebral fissures, colobomas of the lower eyelids with a paucity of eyelashes medial to the defect, hypoplasia of the facial bones, cleft palate, malformation of the external ears, atresia of the external auditory canals, and bilateral conductive hearing loss.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Leukodystrophy, hypomyelinating, 11

HLD11

An autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by brain hypomyelination, delayed psychomotor development, intellectual disability, tremor and other neurologic symptoms. Some patients may additionally manifest non-neurologic features, particularly dental abnormalities and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
