EMBO J (2013) 32: 1075–1086 doi:; DOI: 10.1038/emboj.2013.54; published online March 15 2013 The histone chaperone Spt6 is known to facilitate transcriptional elongation while preventing spurious initiation of transcription within the coding region of genes. A recent publication in (Wang et al, 2013) identifies an additional mechanism by which Spt6 promotes gene expression by demonstrating that it tethers the histone demethylase UTX/KDM6A to the elongating RNA Polymerase II, thereby enabling the removal of repressive H3K27me3 marks within developmentally important muscle genes.
