Abstrakt: Biologically precise enhancer licensing by lineage-determining transcription factors enables activation of transcripts appropriate to biological demand and prevents deleterious gene activation. This essential process is challenged by the millions of matches to most transcription factor binding motifs present in many eukaryotic genomes, leading to questions about how transcription factors achieve the exquisite specificity required. The importance of chromatin remodeling factors to enhancer activation is highlighted by their frequent mutation in developmental disorders and in cancer. Here, we determine the roles of CHD4 in enhancer licensing and maintenance in breast cancer cells and during cellular reprogramming. In unchallenged basal breast cancer cells, CHD4 modulates chromatin accessibility. Its depletion leads to redistribution of transcription factors to previously unoccupied sites. During cellular reprogramming induced by the pioneer factor GATA3, CHD4 activity is necessary to prevent inappropriate chromatin opening. Mechanistically, CHD4 promotes nucleosome positioning over GATA3 binding motifs to compete with transcription factor-DNA interaction. We propose that CHD4 acts as a chromatin proof-reading enzyme that prevents unnecessary gene expression by editing chromatin binding activities of transcription factors.
