Fig. 1. 4.0 Å resolution cryo-EM map and molecular model of mammalian Mediator.
a mMED cryo-EM map at 4.0 Å resolution. b Local resolution in the mMED map points to high mobility of the Middle module and domains that form the CTD-binding gap. Slicing through the map highlights comparatively high (~3.5 Å) resolution throughout the core of the complex. c Mammalian Mediator molecular model. d Schematic representation of mMED’s modular organization and its interaction with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII, through the polymerase CTD) and the Cdk8 kinase module (CKM).
