Mediator complex subunit 22 (Med22), also known as Sur2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MED22 gene. It is a component of the multi-subunit Mediator complex, which plays a critical role in the regulation of gene transcription.The Mediator complex serves as a bridge, facilitating communication between the transcription machinery, including RNA polymerase II, and transcription factors that bind to specific DNA sequences. This interaction helps initiate the transcription process, thereby controlling the expression of genes.
Med22 is one of the smaller subunits of the Mediator complex, but it plays a crucial role in the assembly and integrity of the complex. It is a component of the head module of the Mediator complex, which is essential for interactions with RNA polymerase II.Alterations in the function or expression of Mediator complex subunits, including Med22, can significantly affect gene transcription, leading to various diseases. For instance, mutations in different Mediator subunits have been associated with diverse conditions ranging from developmental disorders to cancer.
