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. The of the mediator is split into three domains that go through significant conformational changes, and it interracts with the Rpb7 and Rpb4 subunits of Pol II and TATA binding protein subunit of transcription factor TFIID. [3]
