A kinase subunit of the human mediator complex, CDK8, positively regulates transcriptional activation.
The human thyroid hormone receptor-associated proteins (TRAP)/Mediator and related complexes mediate transcription through regulatory factors. To further understand the structural and functional diversity of these complexes we established three HeLa cell lines each expressing one of three epitope-tagged human TRAP/Mediator subunits, MED6, MED7, and CDK8 and isolated the complexes in which these...
متن کاملGenome-wide location of the coactivator mediator: Binding without activation and transient Cdk8 interaction on DNA.
Mediator is a general coactivator of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription. Genomic location analyses of different Mediator subunits indicate a uniformly composed core complex upstream of active genes but unexpectedly also upstream of inactive genes and on the coding regions of some highly active genes. The repressive Cdk8 submodule is associated with core Mediator at all sites but with a lo...
متن کاملThe VP16 activation domain interacts with multiple transcriptional components as determined by protein-protein cross-linking in vivo.
Transcriptional activator proteins recruit the RNA polymerase II machinery and chromatin-modifying activities to promoters. Biochemical experiments indicate that activator proteins can associate with a large number of proteins, and many such proteins have been proposed to be direct targets of activators. However, there is great uncertainty about which biochemical interactions are physiologicall...
متن کاملDistinct roles for Mediator Cdk8 module subunits in Drosophila development.
Mediator (MED) is a conserved multisubunit complex bridging transcriptional activators and repressors to the general RNA polymerase II initiation machinery. In yeast, MED is organized in three core modules and a separable 'Cdk8 module' consisting of the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdk8, its partner CycC, Med12 and Med13. This regulatory module, specifically required for cellular adaptation to envir...
متن کاملComplexity in transcription control at the activation domain-mediator interface.
Transcript elongation by polymerase II paused at the Egr1 promoter is activated by mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation of the ternary complex factor (TCF) ELK1 bound at multiple upstream sites and subsequent phospho-ELK1 interaction with mediator through the MED23 subunit. Consequently, Med23 knockout (KO) nearly eliminates Egr1 (early growth response factor 1) transcription in emb...
