mdt-17

Gene
mdt-17
Protein
Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 17
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Length
667 amino acids
Function
Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in regulated gene transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. 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 (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the Mediator complex subunit 17 family.
