Structure of the transcription activator target Tra1 within the chromatin modifying complex SAGA

The transcription co-activator complex SAGA is recruited to promoters by transcriptional activators and promotes the formation of the pre-initiation complex. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structure of the SAGA complex and resolve the major target of activator binding, the 430 kDa Tra1 protei...
