Mammalian mediator structure and conformation regulation by the Tail module

ABSTRACT: The Mediator complex plays an essential and multi-faceted role in regulation of RNA polymerase II transcription in all eukaryotes. Structural analysis of yeast Mediator provided an understanding of the conserved core of the complex and its interaction with RNA polymerase II, but failed to reveal how Mediator might enable a response to interaction with transcription factors (TFs). Here we present an atomic model of mammalian (Mus musculus) Mediator, derived from a 4.0 Å resolution cryo-EM map of the complex. The mammalian Mediator structure reveals how the previously unresolved Tail module, which includes a number of metazoan specific subunits, modulates Mediator conformation and interactions. The structure also suggests how a bi-partite organization of TF-interacting subunits can be exploited to enable a Mediator mechanism that combines conformational control of molecular interactions and enhancement of transcription through phase separation and enhancer-specific recruitment

Functional metabolomics as a tool to analyze Mediator function and structure in plants

Project description:Mediator is a multiprotein transcriptional co-regulator complex composed of four modules; Head, Middle, Tail, and Kinase. It conveys signals from promoter-bound transcriptional regulators to RNA polymerase II and thus plays an essential role in eukaryotic gene regulation. We describe subunit localization and activities of Mediator in Arabidopsis through metabolome and transcriptome analyses from a set of Mediator mutants. Functional metabolomic analysis based on the metabolite profiles of Mediator mutants using multivariate statistical analysis and heat-map visualization shows that different subunit mutants display distinct metabolite profiles, which cluster according to the reported localization of the corresponding subunits in yeast. Based on these results, we suggest localization of previously unassigned plant Mediator subunits to specific modules. We also describe novel roles for individual subunits in development, and demonstrate changes in gene expression patterns and specific metabolite levels in med18 and med25, which can explain their phenotypes. We find that med18 displays levels of phytoalexins normally found in wild type plants only after exposure to pathogens. Our results indicate that different Mediator subunits are involved in specific signaling pathways that control developmental processes and tolerance to pathogen infections.

Mediator directs co-transcriptional heterochromatin assembly by RNAi-dependent and -independent pathways.

Project description:Background: Heterochromatin at the pericentromeric repeats in fission yeast is assembled and spread by an RNAi-dependent mechanism, which is coupled to the transcription of non-coding RNA from the repeats by RNA polymerase II. In addition, Rrp6, a component of the nuclear exosome, also contributes to heterochromatin assembly and is coupled to non-coding RNA transcription. The multi-subunit complex Mediator, which directs initiation of RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription, has recently been suggested to function after initiation in processes such as elongation of transcription and splicing. However, the role of Mediator in the regulation of chromatin structure is not well understood. Results: We investigated the role of Mediator in pericentromeric heterochromatin formation and found that deletion of specific subunits of the head domain of Mediator compromised heterochromatin structure. The Mediator head domain was required for Rrp6-dependent heterochromatin nucleation at the pericentromere and for RNAi-dependent spreading of heterochromatin into the neighboring region. In the latter process, Mediator appeared to contribute to efficient processing of siRNA from transcribed non-coding RNA, which was required for efficient spreading of heterochromatin. Furthermore, the head domain directed efficient transcription in heterochromatin. Conclusions: These results reveal a pivotal role for Mediator in multiple steps of transcription-coupled formation of pericentromeric heterochromatin. This observation further extends the role of Mediator to co-transcriptional chromatin regulation.

Identification of Med26 target genes in Human HEK 293T cells

Project description:Med26 is a subunit of the Human Mediator complex. The Mediator complex is an evolutionarily conserved coregulatory complex that interacts with RNA polymerase II to regulate gene expression. In metazoa, Mediator is composed of some 30 distinct subunits. Mediator exists in multiple, functionally distinct forms that share a common core of subunits and can be distinguished by the presence or absence of a kinase module composed of Med12, Med13, Cdk8, and Cyclin C. In higher eukaryotes, a subset of Mediator complexes is associated with an additional subunit, Med26. This Med26-containing Mediator copurifies from cells with little or no kinase module, but near-stoichiometric Pol II. Evidence suggests that Med26-containing Mediator plays a key role in transcriptional activation however, the mechanism(s) by which Med26 contributes to this process are not known. To identify Med26 target genes, we used Affymetrix U133A plus 2.0 expression arrays to analyze mRNA expression in 293T cells from which Med26 had been depleted by transient transfection by each of three different siRNAs. Three different independent Med26 siRNA knockdowns were compared to a non-targeting control in triplicate, for a total of 12 samples.

Cdk11-Cyclin L controls the assembly of the RNA polymerase II Mediator [expression]

Project description:The L-Mediator is a general co-activator of RNA Polymerase II transcription and is formed by the reversible association of the S-Mediator and the kinase module harbouring Cdk8. We describe the Cdk11-Lcp1 complex and show that its inactivation alter the global expression profiles in a very similar way than mutations of the kinase module. Cdk11 is broadly distributed onto chromatin and phosphorylate the Med27 and Med4 Mediator subunits on conserved residues. The inactivation of either Cdk11 or the mutation of its target residues on the Mediator leads to a strongly decreased association of the kinase module and the S-Mediator. The results show that Cdk11-Lcp1 regulates that assembly of the L-Mediator complex. Total RNA was isolated from two biological replicates for all conditions, and each biological replicate was hybridized in duplicate on Agilent arrays (dye-swap).

Knockdown effect of CDK8 or CDK19 in HeLa S3 cell

Project description:Mediator complex has been known as pivotal regulator of RNA polymerase II. Mediator complex has two CDK subunits in vertebrates, named CDK8 and CDK19. To elucidate functional difference between CDK8 and CDK19 in human cell, we employ siRNA mediate knockdown assay using HeLa S3 cell line. According to this assay these CDKs possess highly redundancy in HeLa S3 cell transcription regulation mechanism but in several genes, each CDK shows gene specific regulatory function.

Coordination of Mediator Complex and Histone Acetyltransferase CBP/p300 in Transcriptional Regulation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:CBP/p300 is one group of histone acetyltransferases, which catalyze the acetylation of histone lysine in order to loosen the chromatin structure and promote transcription. The multiple-subunits complex MEDIATOR is important for the transcription initiation through participating in the assembly of transcriptional pre-initiation complex (PIC). Our study identified that MEDIATOR interacts with HAC1 and HAC5, and participate in the regulation of transcription coordinately, thereby regulating the development of Arabidopsis. Besides, MEDIATOR, HAC1, and HAC5 may be organized together by the LLPS to regulate transcription.
