Abstract:The evolutionarily-conserved multiprotein Mediator complex (MED) serves as an interface between DNA-bound transcription factors (TFs) and the RNA Polymerase II machinery. It has been proposed that each TF interacts with a dedicated MED subunit to induce specific transcriptional responses. However, binary MED subunit -TF partnerships are probably oversimplified models. Using Drosophila TFs of the GATA family -Pannier (Pnr) and Serpent (Srp) -as a model, we have previously established GATA cofactor evolutionaril… Show more
