Nucleosomes and IDRs suppress promiscuous GCN4 binding on minichromosomes

Wei et al. measure single-molecule kinetics of transcription factor GCN4 on purified yeast minichromosomes to reveal that both nucleosomes and transcription factor intrinsically disordered regions facilitate GCN4 target search on native chromatin by shortening its promiscuous binding.
