Comments
  • FUNCTION: Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in the regulated 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. Required for cholesterol-dependent gene regulation. Positively regulates the Nodal signaling pathway.
  • SUBUNIT: Component of the Mediator complex, which is composed of MED1, MED4, MED6, MED7, MED8, MED9, MED10, MED11, MED12, MED13, MED13L, MED14, MED15, MED16, MED17, MED18, MED19, MED20, MED21, MED22, MED23, MED24, MED25, MED26, MED27, MED29, MED30, MED31, CCNC, CDK8 and CDC2L6/CDK11. The MED12, MED13, CCNC and CDK8 subunits form a distinct module termed the CDK8 module. Mediator containing the CDK8 module is less active than Mediator lacking this module in supporting transcriptional activation. Individual preparations of the Mediator complex lacking one or more distinct subunits have been variously termed ARC, CRSP, DRIP, PC2, SMCC and TRAP. Interacts with SMAD2, SMAD3, SREBF1 and SREBF2.
  • INTERACTION:

    P36956-1:SREBF1; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-394506, EBI-948328;
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
  • ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 3 named isoforms [FASTA] produced by alternative splicing.
    Name1
    Isoform IDQ96RN5-1
    This is the isoform sequence displayed in this entry.
    Name2
    Isoform IDQ96RN5-2
    Features which should be applied to build the isoform sequence: VSP_003922.
    Name3
    Isoform IDQ96RN5-3
    Note: No experimental confirmation available.
    Features which should be applied to build the isoform sequence: VSP_013024, VSP_003922.
  • TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in all tissues examined, including heart, brain, lung, spleen, thymus, pancreas, blood leukocyte and placenta. However, the level of expression varied, with highest expression in the placenta and peripheral blood and lowest in the pancreas and kidney.
  • INDUCTION: By 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA).
  • POLYMORPHISM: The poly-Gln region from amino acids 235-262 of PCQAP is polymorphic. There are from 15 to 18 repeats in the Italian population.
  • SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Mediator complex subunit 15 family.
  • SEQUENCE CAUTION:
    • Sequence=AAC12944.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=13, 600, 749;
    • Sequence=BAB85034.1; Type=Miscellaneous discrepancy; Note=Several sequencing errors
