Structure of mammalian Mediator complex reveals Tail module architecture and interaction with a conserved core.

ABSTRACT: The Mediator complex plays an essential and multi-faceted role in regulation of RNA polymerase II transcription in all eukaryotes. Structural analysis of yeast Mediator has provided an understanding of the conserved core of the complex and its interaction with RNA polymerase II but failed to reveal the structure of the Tail module that contains most subunits targeted by activators and repressors. Here we present a molecular model of mammalian (Mus musculus) Mediator, derived from a 4.0 Å resolution cryo-EM map of the complex. The mammalian Mediator structure reveals that the previously unresolved Tail module, which includes a number of metazoan specific subunits, interacts extensively with core Mediator and has the potential to influence its conformation and interactions.

Mammalian mediator structure and conformation regulation by the Tail module

Project description:The Mediator complex plays an essential and multi-faceted role in regulation of RNA polymerase II transcription in all eukaryotes. Structural analysis of yeast Mediator provided an understanding of the conserved core of the complex and its interaction with RNA polymerase II, but failed to reveal how Mediator might enable a response to interaction with transcription factors (TFs). Here we present an atomic model of mammalian (Mus musculus) Mediator, derived from a 4.0 Å resolution cryo-EM map of the complex. The mammalian Mediator structure reveals how the previously unresolved Tail module, which includes a number of metazoan specific subunits, modulates Mediator conformation and interactions. The structure also suggests how a bi-partite organization of TF-interacting subunits can be exploited to enable a Mediator mechanism that combines conformational control of molecular interactions and enhancement of transcription through phase separation and enhancer-specific recruitment

Architecture of the RNA polymerase II-Mediator core transcription initiation complex

Project description:Comparative Dynamic Transcriptome Analysis (cDTA) enables global analysis of newly synthesized RNA as described in Sun et al. Genome Res. 2012 (DOI:10.1101/gr.130161.111) and reveals defects in transcription with much higher sensitivity than conventional steady-state methods. cDTA was carried out as described in Sun et al. Genome Res. 2012 (DOI:10.1101/gr.130161.111), using the S. cerevisiae heterozygous Med17/med17delta strain (Euroscarf) transfected with plasmids pRS315-SRB4 or pRS315-srb4-ts as described in Larivi̬re et al. Nature. 2012 (DOI:10.1038/nature11670), and Y40343-wildtype (Euroscarf) or Med18-FRB-KanMX6 (Euroscarf) strains. Heatshock of SRB4 and srb4-ts strains was applied for 18 or 60 minutes at 37C prior to RNA labeling as described in Sun et al. Genome Res. 2012 (DOI:10.1101/gr.130161.111). To deplete the Med18 subunit from the nucleus, anchor-away experiments were performed by rapamycin treatment (1 ug/ml in 200 mL YPD) for 18 or 60 minutes at 30C prior to RNA labeling as described in Sun et al. Mol. Cell. 2013 (DOI:10.1016/j.molcel.2013.09.010). Data analysis was as described in Sun et al. Genome Res. 2012 (DOI:10.1101/gr.130161.111).

Functional studies of the Yeast Mediator Tail Module Subunits

Project description:The yeast Mediator complex can be divided into three modules, designated Head, Middle and Tail. Tail comprises the Med2, Med3, Med5, Med15 and Med16 protein subunits, which are all encoded by genes that are individually non-essential for viability. In cells lacking Med16, Tail is displaced from Head and Middle. However, inactivation of MED5/MED15 and MED15/MED16 are synthetically lethal, indicating that Tail performs essential functions as a separate complex even when it is not bound to Middle and Head. We have used the N-Degron method to create temperature sensitive (ts) mutants in the Mediator tail subunits Med5, Med15 and Med16 to study the immediate effects on global gene expression when each subunit is individually inactivated, and when MED5/15 or MED15/16 are inactivated together. All Degron constructs were expressed from their normal chromosomal location under the control of their respective endogenous promoters. We isolated RNA from each strain as early as 45 minutes after changing from the permissive to the restrictive growth conditions to minimize possible secondary effects on gene expression that are not directly caused by the Degron construct(s).
