Function

Annotated function Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in the regulated transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene- specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. The Mediator complex, having a compact conformation in its free form, is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors. The Mediator complex unfolds to an extended conformation and partially surrounds RNA polymerase II, specifically interacting with the unphosphorylated form of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II. The Mediator complex dissociates from the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme and stays at the promoter when transcriptional elongation begins. MED8 binds to the consensus sequence 5'-[AC][AG]GAAAT-3' in both the UAS of SUC2 and the DRS2 of HXK2.

Explaination for Stockholm format
  The  "Stockholm" format is a system for marking up features in a multiple alignment. These mark-up annotations are preceded by a 'magic' label, of which there are four types. The Stockholm format is used by HMMER, Pfam, and Belvu. Mark-up lines include any characters except whitespace. Underscore ("_") is used instead of space. 

 #=GR (seqname) PP (Generic per-Sequence AND per-Column markup, exactly 1 char per column) where PP is Posterior Probability  [0-9*], (0=0.00-0.05; 1=0.05-0.15; *=0.95-1.00) 
 
 #=GC PP_cons line is Stockholm-format consensus posterior probability annotation for the entire column.  It’s calculated simply as the arithmetic mean of the per-residue posterior probabilities in that column.  This should prove useful in phylogenetic inference applications, for example, where it’s common to mask away non confidently aligned columns of a multiple alignment. The PP_cons line provides an objective measure of the confidence assigned to each column.
 
 #=GC RF line is Stockholm-format reference coordinate annotation, with an x marking each column that the profile considered to be consensus.
