The transcription factor RUNX3 plays a key role in the restriction point of cell cycle. Here the authors showed that RUNX3 binds and opens chromatin structure of restriction point associated genes, by sequential recruitment of chromatin remodeling complex, transcription complex and cell cycle regulators.
