Pioneer TFs bind and activate cis-regulatory regions. During differentiation, pioneer TFs have nucleosome-binding properties that allow them to actively open condensed chromatin and to recruit other TFs, chromatin modifiers and nucleosome remodellers. Pioneer TFs binding is sufficient to enable change in chromatin structure to create a nucleosome-free region.
