Mediator and cohesin connect gene expression and chromatin architecture

TL;DR: It is reported that mediator and cohesin physically and functionally connect the enhancers and core promoters of active genes in murine embryonic stem cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcription Factors Activate Genes through the Phase-Separation Capacity of Their Activation Domains.

TL;DR: It is reported that diverse ADs form phase- separated condensates with the Mediator coactivator, suggesting that diverse TFs can interact with Mediator through the phase-separating capacity of their ADs and that formation of condensate with Mediation is involved in gene activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activating RNAs associate with Mediator to enhance chromatin architecture and transcription

TL;DR: In this paper, depletion of the components of the co-activator complex, Mediator, specifically and potently diminished the ncRNA-induced activation of transcription in a heterologous reporter assay using human HEK293 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Mediator complex: a central integrator of transcription

TL;DR: Although Mediator exists in all eukaryotes, a variety of Mediator functions seem to be specific to metazoans, which is indicative of more diverse regulatory requirements.
