Nucleosomes specify co-factor access to p53

Abstract excerpt

Pioneer transcription factors (TFs) engage chromatinized DNA motifs. However, it is unclear how the resultant TF-nucleosome complexes are decoded by co-factors. In humans, the TF p53 regulates cell-cycle progression, apoptosis, and the DNA damage response, with a large fraction of p53-bound sites residing in nucleosome-harboring inaccessible chromatin. We examined the interaction of chromatin-bound p53 with...
