Abstract

Multiple factors are involved in the elongation stage of transcription regulation to ensure the passing of RNA polymerases while preserving appropriate nucleosome structure thereafter. The recently reported trimeric sub-module of NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex involved in this process provides more insight into the sophisticated modulation of transcription elongation.
