relief from the repression imposed by chromatin structure
Chromatin-remodeling complexes: mediate ATP-dependent conformational changes in nucleosome structure
histone-modifying enzymes: introduce covalent modifications into the N-terminal tails of the histone core octamer.

ubiquitination
sumoylation
acetylation
deacetylation: HDAC (histone deacetylase complexes) catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues along the histone tails, restoring the chromatin to a repressed state.

Mediator as arepressor.
If mediator interacts with a co-repressor bound to a silencer and then binds the repressive subcomplex (MED12: MED13: CycC:CDK8), shown in pink here, it fails to recruit RNA polymerase II and the GTFs to the promoter, and expression from the promoter is repressed
