The two eukaryotic subunits Rpb3 and Rpb11 dimerise to from a platform onto which the other subunits of the RNA polymerase assemble (D/L in archaea). The prokaryotic equivalent of the Rpb3/Rpb11 platform is the alpha-alpha dimer. The dimerisation domain of the alpha subunit/Rpb3 is interrupted by an insert domain (Pfam:PF01000). Some of the alpha subunits also contain iron-sulphur binding domains (Pfam:PF00037). Rpb11 is found as a continuous domain. Members of this family include: alpha subunit from eubacteria, alpha subunits from chloroplasts, Rpb3 subunits from eukaryotes, Rpb11 subunits from eukaryotes, RpoD subunits from archaeal spp, and RpoL subunits from archaeal spp. Many of the members of this family carry only the N-terminal region of Rpb11.

Med18 is one subunit of Mediator, a head-module multiprotein complex, that stimulates basal RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription. Med18 consists of an eight-stranded beta-barrel with a central pore and three flanking helices. It complexes with Med8 and Med20 proteins by forming a heterodimer of two-fold symmetry with Med20 and binding the C-terminal alpha-helix region of Med8 across the top of its barrel. This complex creates a multipartite TBP-binding site that can be modulated by transcriptional activators [1].

Rpb7 bind to Rpb4 to form a heterodimer. This complex is thought to interact with the nascent RNA strand during RNA polymerase II elongation[1]. This family includes the homologs from RNA polymerase I and III. In RNA polymerase I, Rpa43 is at least one of the subunits contacted by the transcription factor TIF-IA [2]. The N terminus of Rpb7p/Rpc25p/MJ0397 has a SHS2 domain that is involved in protein-protein interaction [3].
The S1 domain occurs in a wide range of RNA associated proteins. It is structurally similar to cold shock protein which binds nucleic acids. The S1 domain has an OB-fold structure.
