TAIR Curator Summary | encodes a protein with similarities to subunits of the Mediator complex, required for RNA polymerase II recruitment at target promoters in response to specific activators. Lines carrying loss of function mutations in the gene have reduced cell numbers in aerial organs. On the other hand, lines overexpressing the gene have increased number of small cells in clusters, suggesting cell division is more unsynchronized in the overexpressors.Required for expression of CBF-controlled cold-responsive genes. Required for recruitment of the Mediator complex and RNA polymerase II to CBF-controlled cold-responsive genes. Required for expression of some dark-upregulated genes. |
