    The chromatin remodeller CHD4 regulates transcription factor binding to both prevent activation of silent enhancers and maintain active regulatory elements

    Andria Koulle, Oluwaseun Ogundele ... Brian Hendrich
    CHD4 directly limits transcription factor binding to chromatin, which prevents activation of silent or cryptic enhancers but facilitates activity of active enhancers.

    Amanda L Hughes, Ramasubramanian Sundaramoorthy, Tom Owen-Hughes
    Structures of the chromatin remodelling enzyme Chd1 during ongoing reactions reveal a reaction pathway tuned to generate nucleosome spacing similar to that observed in cells.
