Single-molecule analysis of steroid receptor and cofactor action in living cells

Transcription factors (TFs) are thought to regulate gene expression by stably binding to target DNA elements. Here, the authors use single-molecule tracking to analyse the dynamic behaviour of steroid receptors TFs and show that most specific interactions with chromatin are transient and dynamic.
