Long Description Medline abstract in progress:
Deletion of any one of three subunits of the yeast Mediator of
transcriptional regulation, Med2, Pgd1 (Hrs1), and Sin4, abolished
activation by Gal4-VP16 in vitro. By contrast, other Mediator
functions, stimulation of basal transcription and of TFIIH kinase
activity, were unaffected. A different but overlapping Mediator
subunit dependence was found for activation by Gcn4. The genetic
requirements for activation in vivo were closely coincident with those
in vitro. A whole genome expression profile of a Deltamed2 strain
showed diminished transcription of a subset of inducible genes but
only minor effects on 'basal' transcription. These findings make an
important connection between transcriptional activation in vitro and
in vivo, and identify Mediator as a 'global' transcriptional
coactivator.
