The human Mediator complex: a versatile, genome-wide regulator of transcription

Open access
Taatjes, Dylan J.·2010·Trends in Biochemical Sciences

Abstract

The Mediator complex interacts extensively with the RNA polymerase II enzyme and regulates its ability to express protein-coding genes. The mechanisms by which Mediator regulates gene expression remain poorly understood, in part because Mediator structure and even its composition can change, depending upon the promoter context. Combined with the sheer size of the human Mediator complex (26 subunits, 1.2 MDa), this structural adaptability bestows seemingly unlimited regulatory potential within the complex. Recent efforts to understand Mediator structure and function have identified expanded roles that include control of both pre- and post-initiation events; it is also evident that Mediator performs both general and gene-specific roles to regulate gene expression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
