Abstract
ABSTRACT The Mediator complex was discovered in the early 1990s as a biochemically fractionated factor from yeast extracts that was necessary for activator-stimulated transcriptional activation to be observed in in vitro transcription assays. The structure of this large, multi-protein complex is now understood in great detail, and novel genetic approaches have provided rich insights into its dynamics during transcriptional activation and the mechanism by which it facilitates activated transcription. Here I review recent findings and unanswered questions regarding Mediator dynamics, the roles of individual subunits, and differences between its function in yeast and metazoan cells.
