SGD DescriptionSubunit of the RNA polymerase II mediator complex; associates with core polymerase subunits to form the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme; essential for transcriptional regulation; required for proper termination of transcription for some genes; involved in telomere maintenance
AspGD DescriptionHas domain(s) with predicted RNA polymerase II transcription cofactor activity, role in regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter and mediator complex localization
