    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • two conserved structural domains with limited similarity to domain D of synapsin I
  • an activator interaction domain (ACID), which forms a seven-stranded beta-barrel framed by three helices, and the VP16 subdomains H1 and H2 bind to opposite faces of ACID and cooperate during promoter-dependent activated transcription
  • a MED25 domain that serves as a docking site on Mediator for the ATF6 transcription activation domain
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Med25 (93.0pc)
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • mediator complex subunit 25 family
  • CATEGORY chaperone/stress , regulatory
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular

    basic FUNCTION
  • associating with the activation domains of multiple cellular and viral transcriptional activators, including the herpes simplex viral activator VP16, mammalian cells,
  • required for RARA/RXRA-mediated transcription
  • serving as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors
  • potential role of MED25 in gene dosage sensitive peripheral neuropathy pathogenesis
  • MED25 and PTOV1 reciprocally regulate RAR transcriptional activity through competitive bindings to CREBBP and opposite regulation of CREBBP recruitment to the RA(Retinoic acid)-responsive gene promoter
  • MED25 and PTOV1 differentially modulate RA sensitivity in cancer cells depending on their expression levels
  • role for MED25 and the Mediator complex in the regulation of xenobiotic metabolism and lipid homeostasis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • component of the mediator complex
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with CREBP, ESR1, GR, RARA, RXRA and THRB in a ligand-dependent manner
  • required for the association of HNF4A with Mediator, its several cofactors, and RNA Pol II
  • critical target of the potent herpes simplex 1 viral transcriptional activator VP16
  • regulatory interaction between SOX9, WWP2 and MED25 defines the SOX9 transcriptional mechanisms of chondrogenesis in the forming palate
  • MED1 and MED25, regulate a restricted cohort of genes that are predominantly not controlled by GATA1
  • ATF6-MED25 interaction contributes to Mediator recruitment to genes
  • cell & other
