The Med proteins of yeast and their function through the RNA polymerase II carboxy-terminal domain.

Abstract:

:Mediator was resolved from yeast as a multiprotein complex on the basis of its requirement for transcriptional activation in a fully defined system. Three groups of mediator polypeptides could be distinguished: the products of five SRB genes, identified as suppressors of carboxy-terminal domain (CTD)-truncation mutants; products of four genes identified as global repressors; and six members of a new protein family, termed Med, thought to be primarily responsible for transcriptional activation. Notably absent from the purified mediator were Srbs 8, 9, 10, and 11, as well as members of the SWI/SNF complex. The CTD was required for function of mediator in vitro, in keeping with previous indications of involvement of the CTD in transcriptional activation in vivo. Evidence for human homologs of several mediator proteins, including Med7, points to similar mechanisms in higher cells.

  • The transcriptional activator PAX3-FKHR rescues the defects of Pax3 mutant mice but induces a myogenic gain-of-function phenotype with ligand-independent activation of Met signaling in vivo.

    abstract::Pax3 is a key transcription factor implicated in development and human disease. To dissect the role of Pax3 in myogenesis and establish whether it is a repressor or activator, we generated loss- and gain-of-function alleles by targeting an nLacZ reporter and a sequence encoding the oncogenic fusion protein PAX3-FKHR i...
