GATA transcription factors as potentiators of gut endoderm differentiation
Abstract
Gene inactivation studies have shown that members of the GATA family of transcription factors are critical for endoderm differentiation in mice, flies and worms, yet how these proteins function in such a conserved developmental context has not been understood. We use in vivo footprinting of mouse embryonic endoderm cells to show that a DNA-binding site for GATA factors is occupied on a liver-specific, transcriptional enhancer of the serum albumin gene. GATA site occupancy occurs in gut endoderm cells at their pluripotent stage: the cells have the potential to initiate tissue development but they have not yet been committed to express albumin or other tissue-specific genes. The GATA-4 isoform accounts for about half of the nuclear GATA-factor-binding activity in the endoderm. GATA site occupancy persists during hepatic development and is necessary for the activity of albumin gene enhancer. Thus, GATA factors in the endoderm are among the first to bind essential regulatory sites in chromatin. Binding occurs prior to activation of gene expression, changes in cell morphology or functional commitment that would indicate differentiation. We suggest that GATA factors at target sites in chromatin may generally help potentiate gene expression and tissue specification in metazoan endoderm development.

We found substantial overlap between established pioneer factors and methylated-DNA-binding proteins, such as FOXA and GATA families.
“Indeed, we observed a large overlap between known pioneer TFs and proteins that bind to methylated DNA (for example, forkhead box protein A (FOXA) and GATA families, which are the best-studied pioneer factors)106,108–110.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
