HOXB13 may compensate for CHD1 deficiency, thus promoting chromatin accessibility. CHD1 regulates the binding of AR and consequently differentiation through promoting the expression of the canonical AR transcriptome. In CHD1-deficient conditions, AR enhancers are enriched in HOXB13 binding and HOX motifs. CHD1 deficiency in tumor cells is associated with a diversion of AR binding toward a malignant program likely mediated by the activation of HOXB13 transcriptional network.
