OCT4 interprets and enhances nucleosome flexibility

C. MacCarthy, J. Huertas, C. Ortmeier, H. vom Bruch, D. Reinke, A. Sander, T. Bergbrede, H. Schoeler, V. Cojocaru

This study shows how Oct4, a pioneer factor, enhances nucleosome flexibility through specific sequence recognition and nonspecific DNA exploration, affecting chromatin dynamics.

Nucleosomal DNA dynamics mediate Oct4 pioneer factor binding

J. Huertas, C. M. MacCarthy, H. R. Schoeler, V. Cojocaru

This study shows that nucleosome dynamics enable Oct4 binding by correlating mobility with binding site availability and stable protein-DNA interactions.
