High impact information on Cdk8

  • Importantly, Mediator was inactive (Cdk8+) under basal conditions but was activated (Cdk8-) upon induction [1].
  • However, in PARP-1(-/-) cells, Mediator was retained in its inactive state (Cdk8+) upon induction consistent with the absence of gene expression [1].
