Nabirochkina1 SAGA Complex: Role in Viability and Development 1Institute of Gene Biology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 119334 Russia2Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 119991 Russia *dima-gurski@yandex.ru Received - 2013-05-27; Accepted - 2013-07-04 SAGA is a histone acetyltransferase complex that cotranscriptionally performs histone modifications and is implicated in the regulation of gene expression at the level of changes in chromatin structure. SAGA is also involved in mRNP biogenesis and export. In this review, we examined the contribution of SAGA and its subunits to development. We also discuss the diseases associated with impaired activity of SAGA subunits.
