In Drosophila, the testis meiotic arrest complex (tMAC) regulates the expression of a vast number of genes involved in spermatogenesis and is essential for entry into male meiosis. Among its many targets are a few putative transcription factors that could further regulate spermatogenesis genes. CG9879 is implicated as one such tMAC-induced transcription factor as it is testis-specific, tMAC-dependent, and homologous to the known transcription factors TBP,...
