Chromatin state underlies cellular function, and transcription factor binding patterns along with epigenetic marks define chromatin state. Here the authors show that the histone chaperone ANP32E functions through regulation of H2A.Z to restrict genome-wide chromatin accessibility and to inhibit gene transcriptional activation.
