The Continuing SAGA of TFIID and RNA Polymerase II Transcription

Mol Cell. 2017 Oct 5;68(1):1-2. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2017.09.028.

Abstract

Using improved techniques, Baptista et al. (2017) and Warfield et al. (2017) revisit fundamental questions about SAGA and TFIID function in yeast. They conclude that each complex independently contributes to the expression of all genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II.
