MeSH definition : A large protein complex which acts as a signaling adaptor protein that allows communication
between the various regulatory and functional components of GENETIC TRANSCRIPTION
including DNA POLYMERASE II; GENERAL TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS; and TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS
that are bound to upstream ENHANCER ELEMENTS. The mediator complex was originally
studied in YEAST where at least 21 subunits were identified. Many of the yeast subunits
are homologs to proteins in higher organisms that are found associated with specific
nuclear receptors such as THYROID HORMONE RECEPTORS and VITAMIN D RECEPTORS.;
MeSH synonym : mediator transcription complex;
Wikipedia automatic translation : Mediator (coactivator);
MeSH hyponym : Mediator-Like complexes; thyroid Hormone-Associated protein complex; Thyroid Hormone Associated Protein Complex; TRAP (Thyroid Hormone Associated Protein) Complex; TR-Associated Protein (TRAP) Complex; Mediator Like Complexes; Mediator-Like Complex; Mediator Like Complex;
