Liquid condensation of reprogramming factor KLF4 with DNA provides a mechanism for chromatin organization

KLF4, OCT4, SOX2 and MYC cooperate to reorganize chromatin during somatic cell reprogramming. Here the authors show that KLF4 forms a liquid-like biomolecular condensate that recruits OCT4 and SOX2, and that condensation of the isolated KLF4 DNA binding domain with DNA is enhanced by CpG methylation
