Mediator (coactivator)
Mediator (coactivator), also called the TRAP or Mediator transcription complex, is a conserved multi-subunit coactivator of RNA polymerase II transcription with head, middle, tail, and kinase modules, bridging enhancer-bound transcription factors to the pre-initiation complex.
Mediator complex, subunit Med10
MED10 (Mediator complex subunit 10, also NUT2, L6, TRG20) is a 135-aa middle-module component of the Mediator coactivator for RNA polymerase II, essential in yeast, required for zebrafish heart valve and Wnt/Nodal signaling, and implicated in cancer.
Mediator complex, subunit Med2, fungi
Med2 (fungal Mediator subunit 2; human ortholog MED29) is a tail-module component of the Mediator coactivator of RNA polymerase II. It is required for activated transcription in yeast, expanded into the TLO telomeric gene family in Candida albicans, and controls azole drug tolerance in Candida glabrata.
Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 3
Med3 (Pgd1, Hrs1) is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mediator tail-module subunit in the Med2-Med3-Med15 activator-binding triad; its human ortholog is MED27 (TRAP37, CRSP34). It acts as both positive and negative regulator of transcription.
