TRAP230/ARC240 and TRAP240/ARC250 Mediator subunits are functionally conserved through evolution.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mediator, a subgroup of proteins (Srb8, Srb9, Srb10, and Srb11) form a module, which is involved in negative regulation of transcription. Homologues of Srb10 and Srb11 are found in some mammalian Mediator preparations, whereas no clear homologues have been reported for Srb8 and Srb9. Here, we identify a TRAP240/ARC250 homologue in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and demons...
متن کاملMediator head subcomplex Med11/22 contains a common helix bundle building block with a specific function in transcription initiation complex stabilization
Mediator is a multiprotein co-activator of RNA polymerase (Pol) II transcription. Mediator contains a conserved core that comprises the 'head' and 'middle' modules. We present here a structure-function analysis of the essential Med11/22 heterodimer, a part of the head module. Med11/22 forms a conserved four-helix bundle domain with C-terminal extensions, which bind the central head subunit Med1...
متن کاملTwo conserved modules of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mediator regulate distinct cellular pathways
Mediator is an evolutionary conserved coregulator complex required for transcription of almost all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. The Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mediator consists of two dissociable components-a core complex organized into a head and middle domain as well as the Cdk8 regulatory subcomplex. In this work we describe a functional characterization of the S. pombe Mediator. We rep...
متن کاملA high resolution protein interaction map of the yeast Mediator complex.
Mediator is a large, modular protein complex remotely conserved from yeast to man that conveys regulatory signals from DNA-binding transcription factors to RNA polymerase II. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mediator is thought to be composed of 24 subunits organized in four sub-complexes, termed the head, middle, tail and Cdk8 (Srb8-11) modules. In this work, we have used screening and pair-wise t...
متن کاملThe Mediator complex of Caenorhabditis elegans: insights into the developmental and physiological roles of a conserved transcriptional coregulator
The Mediator multiprotein complex ('Mediator') is an important transcriptional coregulator that is evolutionarily conserved throughout eukaryotes. Although some Mediator subunits are essential for the transcription of all protein-coding genes, others influence the expression of only subsets of genes and participate selectively in cellular signaling pathways. Here, we review the current knowledg...
متن کاملEvidence for a Mediator of RNA Polymerase II Transcriptional Regulation Conserved from Yeast to Man
Mediator complexes (MED) link transcriptional regulators to RNA polymerase II. Here, we summarize the latest advances on the functional organization of yeast Mediator. We argue for the existence of a "universal" Mediator structurally conserved from yeast to man, based on an extensive analysis of sequence databases. Finally, we examine the implications of these observations for the physiological...
