    Abstract To induce cell fate changes, do transcription factors engage open domains of chromatin or elicit chromatin opening in a pioneering fashion? In this issue of Developmental Cell, Delás et al. show that the same sonic hedgehog (Shh) inducing signal can yield different neural tube fates by either modality.

    Abstract Pioneer factors are a subclass of transcription factors that can bind and initiate opening of silent chromatin regions. Pioneer factors subsequently regulate lineage-specific genes and enhancers and, thus, activate the zygotic genome after fertilization, guide cell fate transitions during development, and promote various forms of human cancers. As such, pioneer factors are useful in directed cell reprogramming. In this review, we define the structural and functional characteristics of pioneer factors, how they bind and initiate opening of closed chromatin regions, and the consequences for chromatin dynamics and gene expression during cell differentiation. We also discuss emerging mechanisms that modulate pioneer factors during development.

    Abstract Pioneer transcription factors have the intrinsic biochemical ability to scan partial DNA sequence motifs that are exposed on the surface of a nucleosome and thus access silent genes that are inaccessible to other transcription factors. Pioneer factors subsequently enable other transcription factors, nucleosome remodeling complexes, and histone modifiers to engage chromatin, thereby initiating the formation of an activating or repressive regulatory sequence. Thus, pioneer factors endow the competence for fate changes in embryonic development, are essential for cellular reprogramming, and rewire gene networks in cancer cells. Recent studies with reconstituted nucleosomes in vitro and chromatin binding in vivo reveal that pioneer factors can directly perturb nucleosome structure and chromatin accessibility in different ways. This review focuses on our current understanding of the mechanisms by which pioneer factors initiate gene network changes and will ultimately contribute to our ability to control cell fates at will.

    Abstract Virtually all cell types have the same DNA, yet each type exhibits its own cell-specific pattern of gene expression. During the brief period of mitosis, the chromosomes exhibit changes in protein composition and modifications, a marked condensation, and a consequent reduction in transcription. Yet as cells exit mitosis, they reactivate their cell-specific programs with high fidelity. Initially, the field focused on the subset of transcription factors that are selectively retained in, and hence bookmark, chromatin in mitosis. However, recent studies show that many transcription factors can be retained in mitotic chromatin and that, surprisingly, such retention can be due to nonspecific chromatin binding. Here, we review the latest studies focusing on low-level transcription via promoters, rather than enhancers, as contributing to mitotic memory, as well as new insights into chromosome structure dynamics, histone modifications, cell cycle signaling, and nuclear envelope proteins that together ensure the fidelity of gene expression through a round of mitosis.

  6. Article: Diverse heterochromatin states restricting cell identity and reprogramming.

    Abstract Heterochromatin is defined as a chromosomal domain harboring repressive H3K9me2/3 or H3K27me3 histone modifications and relevant factors that physically compact the chromatin. Heterochromatin can restrict where transcription factors bind, providing a barrier to gene activation and changes in cell identity. While heterochromatin thus helps maintain cell differentiation, it presents a barrier to overcome during efforts to reprogram cells for biomedical purposes. Recent findings have revealed complexity in the composition and regulation of heterochromatin, and shown that transiently disrupting the machinery of heterochromatin can enhance reprogramming. Here, we discuss how heterochromatin is established and maintained during development, and how our growing understanding of the mechanisms regulating H3K9me3 heterochromatin can be leveraged to improve our ability to direct changes in cell identity.

    Abstract Pioneer transcription factors interact with nucleosomes to scan silent, compact chromatin, enabling cooperative events that modulate gene activity. While at a subset of sites pioneer factors access chromatin by assisted loading with other transcription factors, the nucleosome-binding properties of pioneer factors enable them to initiate zygotic genome activation, embryonic development, and cellular reprogramming. To better understand nucleosome targeting in vivo, we assess whether pioneer factors FoxA1 and Sox2 target stable or unstable nucleosomes and find that they target DNase-resistant, stable nucleosomes, whereas HNF4A, a non-nucleosome binding factor, targets open, DNase-sensitive chromatin. Despite FOXA1 and SOX2 targeting similar proportions of DNase-resistant chromatin, using single-molecule tracking, we find that FOXA1 uses lower nucleoplasmic diffusion and longer residence times while SOX2 uses higher nucleoplasmic diffusion and shorter residence times to scan compact chromatin, while HNF4 scans compact chromatin much less efficiently. Thus, pioneer factors target compact chromatin through distinct processes.
