Motif distribution and DNA methylation underlie distinct Cdx2 binding during development and homeostasis by Alireza Lorzadeh, George Ye, Sweta Sharma, Unmesh Jadhav

“…Here we show that Cdx2—a lineage defining transcription factor that binds distinct targets in developing versus adult intestinal epithelial cells—has a preferential affinity for a non-canonical CpG-containing motif in vivo. A higher frequency of this motif at embryonic Cdx2 targets and methylated state of the CpG during development enables selective Cdx2 binding and activation of developmental enhancers and genes. …”
