Abstract excerpt
FoxA proteins are pioneer transcription factors, among the first to bind chromatin domains in development and enable gene activity. The Fox DNA-binding domain structurally resembles linker histone and binds nucleosomes stably. Using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, we found that FoxA1 and FoxA2 move much more slowly in nuclei than other transcription factor types, including c-Myc, GATA-4, NF-1, and...
