Escargot is known to act primarily as a transcriptional repressor. The way that Escargot represses transcription is by binding to specific sequences near its target genes, and recruiting to DNA a series of histone de-acetylases. Knowing what you now know about the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes, please explain how Escargot functions within cells (in 150 words or fewer). Pretend that you are talking to a bio student who hasn't studied the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation yet.
