The Mediator complex, which in humans is 1.4 MDa in size and includes 26 subunits, controls many aspects of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) function. Apart from its size, a defining feature of Mediator is its intrinsic disorder and conformational flexibility, which contributes to its ability to undergo phase separation and to interact with a myriad of r...

... The Mediator complex is a general regulator of transcription. It serves as a bridge to facilitate functional interactions between the basal transcriptional machinery, general transcription factors and cofactors to orchestrate transcription through RNA Polymerase II (El Khattabi et al., 2019;Richter et al., 2022). In mammals, Mediator is a multiprotein complex comprised of 26-30 unique proteins that are ubiquitously expressed, and are organized into the Tail, Middle, Head, and Kinase submodules (Flanagan et al., 1991;Thompson et al., 1993;Kim et al., 1994;Fondell et al., 1996). ...
