Precise regulation of gene expression programs during embryo development requires cooperation between transcriptional factors and histone-modifying enzymes, such as the Gcn5 histone acetyltransferase. Gcn5 functions within a multi-subunit complex, called SAGA, that is recruited to specific genes through interactions with sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins to aid in gene activation. Although the transcriptional programs regulated by SAGA in embryos are not well defined, deletion of either Gcn ...[more]
