BAIT

MED2

L000003914, YDL005C
Subunit of the RNA polymerase II mediator complex; associates with core polymerase subunits to form the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme; essential for transcriptional regulation; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

TFA1

L000002595, YKL028W
TFIIE large subunit; involved in recruitment of RNA polymerase II to the promoter, activation of TFIIH, and promoter opening
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.

Functional connections between mediator components and general transcription factors of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Sakurai H, Fukasawa T

The yeast Gal11 protein is an important component of the Mediator complex in RNA polymerase II-directed transcription. Gal11 and the general transcription factor (TF) IIE are involved in regulation of the protein kinase activity of TFIIH that phosphorylates the carboxyl-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II. We have previously shown that Gal11 binds the small and large subunits of TFIIE at ... [more]
