Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 101:7329-7334(2004). CC -!- FUNCTION: Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator CC involved in the regulated transcription of nearly all RNA CC polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to CC convey information from gene-specific regulatory proteins to the CC basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is CC recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory CC proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional CC preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general CC transcription factors (By similarity). CC -!- SUBUNIT: Component of the Mediator complex (By similarity). CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (Probable). CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Mediator complex subunit 8 family.
