Mediator complex is a key component that bridges various transcription activators and RNA polymerase during eukaryotic transcription initiation. The Arabidopsis thaliana Med25 (aMed25), a subunit of the Mediator complex, plays important roles in regulating hormone signaling, biotic and abiotic stress responses and plant development by interacting with a variety of transcription factors through its activator-interacting domain (ACID). However, the recognition mechanism of aMed25-ACID for various transcription factors remains unknown. Here, we report the nearly complete 1H, 13C, and 15N backbone and side chain resonance assignments of aMED25-ACID (residues 551-681). TALOS-N analysis revealed that aMED25-ACID structure is comprised of three α-helices and seven β-strands, which lacks the C-terminal α-helix existing in the human MED25-ACID. This study lays a foundation for further research on the structure-function relationship of aMED25-ACID.
