Eukaryotic Mediator 12 catenin-binding domain This domain is found in eukaryotes, and is typically between 325 and 354 amino acids in length. Both development and carcinogenesis are driven by signal transduction within the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin pathway through both programmed and unprogrammed changes in gene transcription. Beta-catenin physically and functionally targets this PQL (proline-, glutamine-, leucine-rich) region of the Med12 subunit of Mediator to activate transcription. The beta-catenin transactivation domain binds directly to isolated Med12 and intact Mediator both in vitro and in vivo, and Mediator is recruited to Wnt-responsive genes in a beta-catenin-dependent manner.
