Gene Group (FlyBase)
CYCLIN DEPENDENT KINASES -
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are serine/threonine kinases whose activity depends on a regulatory cyclin subunit. (Adapted from PMID:25180339).
MEDIATOR COMPLEX -
The Mediator (MED) complex serves as a hub for transcriptional signaling events. MED bridges transcriptional activators and repressors. This large multi-protein complex has a central core conserved from yeast to humans. The core is composed of three modules: head, middle, and tail. A separate module, the Cdk8 kinase module, composed of Cdk8, CycC, kto and skd, serves as a regulator. (Adapted from FBrf0226415 and FBrf0191850).
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
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. May phosphorylate the CTD (C-terminal domain) of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNAp II), which may inhibit the formation of a transcription initiation complex. Required for leg and eye development and macrochaete specification or differentiation.

              dsRNA has been made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene.
              (Marr et al., 2006)
              When dsRNA constructs are made and transiently transfected into S2 cells in RNAi experiments, an increase in the proportion of S phase cells seen. The proportion of G2/M phase cells is equal to proportion of G1 phase cells.
              (Bettencourt-Dias et al., 2004)
              Transcriptionally downregulated after 2h of insulin stimulation in Kc167 cells. Contains fkh response elements (FHREs) in the genomic upstream or intronic sequences.
              (Junger et al., 2003)
              dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
              (Kiger et al., 2003)
              RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes a phenotype when assayed in S2R+ cells: cell size is increased, microtubules are uniform or disorganised, cell shape is irregular, and cell number is decreased indicative of a failure in cell cycle progression through G1 to S and G2 to M stages. This phenotype is not seen in Kc167 cells.
              (Kiger et al., 2003)
              Cdk8 protein interacts in vivo with CycC protein and also with RpII215 protein.
              (Leclerc et al., 1996)
              Interacts in vitro and in vivo with CycC, also can interact in vivo with a large subunit RNA polymerase II.
