Term Name:	transcription coregulator activity
Synonyms:	nuclear receptor coreceptor activity, RNA polymerase II transcriptional cofactor activity, transcription cofactor activity, transcription coreceptor activity, transcriptional co-regulator
Definition:	A transcription regulator activity that modulates the transcription of specific gene sets via binding to a DNA-binding transcription factor at a specific genomic locus, either on its own or as part of a complex. Coregulators often act by altering chromatin structure and modifications. For example, one class of transcription coregulators modifies chromatin structure through covalent modification of histones. A second class remodels the conformation of chromatin in an ATP-dependent fashion. A third class modulates interactions of DNA-bound DNA-binding transcription factors with other transcription coregulators.
