摘要

The multiprotein Mediator coactivator complex is universally required for transcription of metazoan genes. It has been proposed to function by interfacing between transcriptional activators and the RNA polymerase Ⅱ machinery. However, in vitro transcription systems reconstituted from homogeneous preparations of RNA polymerase Ⅱ, the general transcription initiation factors, and the cofactor PC4 display relatively robust activator (HNF-4)-dependent activity, which, nonetheless, can be further stimulated by Mediator. By contrast, an unfractionated nuclear extract-based system in which Mediator has been immunodepleted displays a near-absolute dependence on ectopic Mediator. Here, we identified and purified an activity, MSA-2, that confers extract-like Mediator responsiveness to our reconstituted system. Mass spectrometric analyses identified its two constituent polypeptides as hSpt5 and hSpt4, which also comprise the elongation factor DSIF. Mechanistically, MSA-2/DSIF acts by restricting overall transcription in the pure system, thereby imposing a strong Mediator dependence. Our data thus point to potential mechanisms for Mediator function beyond its presently believed role in promoting the initial formation of the RNA polymerase Ⅱ-containing preinitiation complex.
