摘要： Plant Mediator complex is a hub for transcription regulation. It bridges transcription factors and RNA polymerase II to modulate transcription of genes involved in various processes including plant growth, development, defense, production of non-coding RNAs, response to abiotic stresses, flowering regulation and metabolic homeostasis.

Abstract:

The Mediator complex is an important component of the eukaryotic transcriptional machinery. As an essential link between transcription factors and RNA polymerase II, the Mediator complex transduces diverse signals to genes involved in different pathways. The plant Mediator complex was recently purified and comprises conserved and specific subunits. It functions in concert with transcription factors to modulate various responses. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in understanding the plant Mediator complex and its diverse roles in plant growth, development, defense, non-coding RNA production, response to abiotic stresses, flowering, genomic stability and metabolic homeostasis. In addition, the transcription factors interacting with the Mediator complex are also highlighted.
