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 play a role as a target recruitment subunit in E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes and thus in ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |Med8| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |core mediator complex| |mediator complex| |transcription coregulator activity| |transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter| |DNA-templated transcription, initiation| |transcription by RNA polymerase II| |RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding| |transcription, DNA-templated| |nucleic acid-templated transcription| |RNA biosynthetic process| |protein ubiquitination| |protein modification by small protein conjugation| |protein modification by small protein conjugation or removal| |nucleobase-containing compound biosynthetic process| |heterocycle biosynthetic process| |aromatic compound biosynthetic process| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |RNA metabolic process| |cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |macromolecule biosynthetic process| |gene expression| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp29|Rapamycin 1μM R00 exp29]]|-1.72| |[[:results:exp537|WNT3A 44ng/ml R08 exp537]]|1.78| </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 718/726 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|1/1| |909776.0|1/1| |bile duct|28/28| |blood|27/28| |bone|25/25| |breast|32/33| |central nervous system|55/56| |cervix|4/4| |colorectal|17/17| |esophagus|13/13| |fibroblast|1/1| |gastric|15/15| |kidney|21/21| |liver|19/20| |lung|75/75| |lymphocyte|14/14| |ovary|26/26| |pancreas|24/24| |peripheral nervous system|16/16| |plasma cell|15/15| |prostate|1/1| |skin|23/24| |soft tissue|7/7| |thyroid|2/2| |upper aerodigestive|22/22| |urinary tract|29/29| |uterus|5/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 2033 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 4.52 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='MED8 Expression in NALM6 Cells: 4.52'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2025/12/10 20:19by 127.0.0.1
