Pioneer transcription factors are defined by their ability to bind nucleosome-occupied regions. Here, we discuss the properties of nucleosomes bound by pioneers at enhancer regions. We describe how select pioneers bind nucleosome-occupied or -depleted enhancer sites. Importantly, by revisiting and expanding existing data sets, we show differential H2A.Z and p300/CBP association at bound enhancers, highlighting two possible pioneering modes. ...[more]
