General annotation (Comments)

Function	Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in regulated gene transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene-specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors. May phosphorylate the CTD (C-terminal domain) of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNAp II), which may inhibit the formation of a transcription initiation complex. Required for leg and eye development and macrochaete specification or differentiation. Ref.1 Ref.5
Catalytic activity	ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. Ref.1 UniProtKB P49336 ATP + [DNA-directed RNA polymerase] = ADP + [DNA-directed RNA polymerase] phosphate.
Cofactor	Magnesium By similarity. UniProtKB P49336
Subunit structure	Component of the Cdk8 module of the Mediator complex, composed of CycC, Cdk8, kto and skd.
Subcellular location	Nucleus. Ref.1
Developmental stage	Expressed both maternally and zygotically during developmental periods of maximal cell division; most abundant in early embryos and low levels in larvae, pupae and adults. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDC2/CDKX subfamily. Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
