Identification of Med26 target genes in Human HEK 293T cells

ABSTRACT: Med26 is a subunit of the Human Mediator complex. The Mediator complex is an evolutionarily conserved coregulatory complex that interacts with RNA polymerase II to regulate gene expression. In metazoa, Mediator is composed of some 30 distinct subunits. Mediator exists in multiple, functionally distinct forms that share a common core of subunits and can be distinguished by the presence or absence of a kinase module composed of Med12, Med13, Cdk8, and Cyclin C. In higher eukaryotes, a subset of Mediator complexes is associated with an additional subunit, Med26. This Med26-containing Mediator copurifies from cells with little or no kinase module, but near-stoichiometric Pol II. Evidence suggests that Med26-containing Mediator plays a key role in transcriptional activation however, the mechani
