Facilitating the initiation of transcription
The Mediator complex acts as a bridge between which two entities?
RNA polymerase and the promoter region of genes
What does the Mediator complex promote the assembly of?
Pre-initiation complex (PIC)
The Mediator complex is involved in the initiation of which biological process?
Transcription
What is the function of histone acetyl transferases (HATs) in the chromatin alterations model?
Promote an 'open' chromatin conformation
What is the primary role of enhancer RNA (eRNA) according to the given text?
May play a role in enhancer function
What distinguishes super-enhancers from regular enhancers based on the information provided?
Contain high occupancy of transcription factors and stimulate higher transcription levels
In the nuclear relocation model, what may relocate a target gene to a nuclear region favorable or inhibitory to transcription?
DNA looping
Test your knowledge about the Mediator complex, which acts as a bridge between RNA polymerase and the promoter region of genes. Understand its role in facilitating the initiation of transcription by promoting the assembly of the pre-initiation complex (PIC).
