Mediator

The Mediator, found in the yeast S. cerevisiae, connects repressors and activators bound to regulatory DNA with RNA polymerase II because the mediator is an important regulator of eukaryotic transcription [1] (Pol II). Also, mediator is currently being studied because of its ability and role to regulate gene expression [2]. Mediator is in the form of three main modules, which are the tail, arm, and head.



Mediator Structure

The mediator is organized into three modules, the tail, the arm, and the head. The
