Distinct role of Mediator tail module in regulation of SAGA-dependent, TATA-containing genes in yeast

Abstract: The evolutionarily conserved Mediator complex is required for transcription of nearly all RNA Pol II‐dependent promoters, with the tail module serving to recruit Mediator to active promoters in current models. However, transcriptional dependence on tail module subunits varies in a gene‐specific manner, and the generality of the tail module requirement for transcriptional activation has not been explored. Here, we show that tail module subunits function redundantly to recruit Mediator to promoters in yeast, and… Show more

“…9 In contrast, the tail module contains only non-essential subunits and deletion of any individual tail module subunit affects the expression of only a fraction of the genome, 4,5 indicating that the tail module has a gene selective rather than a general role in transcription. The question then arises as to which genes require the tail module for their expression.…”

“…15,16 Consistent with the strong correlation that we found between SAGA dependent and tail module dependent genes, we observed significant enrichment of general stress response genes among genes affected by loss of tail module subunits. 5 The tail module therefore seems to act as a global transcriptional co-activator of stress response genes. In contrast, deletion of kinase module subunits Cdk8/ Srb10 and Med12/Srb8 causes upregulation of many of these same stress response genes.…”
