Project description:CDK8 knockdown in HT-29 cells and CDK8 & MED12 knockdown in R1 cells
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of R1 mouse ES cells infected with non-targeting control (NTC) shRNA and two different shRNA sequences against Cdk8 (shCdk8-1 and shCdk-2) and Med12 (shMed12-1 and shMed12-2). Multi-condition experiment comparing shNTC versus shCdk8-1 and shCdk8-2 after 8 days (3 biological replicates each) and shNTC versus shCdk8-1, shCdk8-2, shMed12-1, and shMed12-2 after 13 days (3 biological replicates each); in total 24 samples profiled.
Project description:Expression profiling following depletion of Mediator Cdk8 module subunits Cdk8, Cyclin C (CycC), Med12 and Med13 72 hours after dsRNA treatment of Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells. Results provide insight into the role of individual Cdk8 module subunits in regulation of transcription. 22 samples. 2 Cdk8 dsRNA, 4 CycC dsRNA, 4 Med12 dsRNA, 4 Med13 dsRNA, 8 control samples including 4 Luciferase (Luc) dsRNA and 4 GFP dsRNA
Project description:Mediator is regarded a general co-activator of RNA-Polymerase II dependent transcription but not much is known about its function and regulation in mouse pluripotent embryonic stem cells (mESC). One means of controlling Mediator function is provided by binding of the Cdk8 module (Med12, Cdk8, Ccnc and Med13) to Mediator. Here we report that the Cdk8 module subunit Med12 operates together with PRC1 to silence developmental key genes in the pluripotent state. At the molecular level, PRC1 is required to assemble ncRNA containing Med12-Mediator complexes at promoters of repressed genes. In the course of cellular differentiation the H2A-ubiquitin binding protein Zrf1 abrogates PRC1-Med12 binding and facilitates the recruitment of Cdk8 into Mediator. Remodeling of the Mediator-associated protein complex converts Mediator into a transcriptional enhancer that mediates ncRNA-dependent activation of Polycomb target genes
