Abstract Enhancers play important roles in controlling gene expression in a choreographed spatial and temporal manner during development. However, it is unclear how these regulatory regions are established during differentiation. Here we investigated the genome-wide binding profile of the forkhead transcription factor FOXK2 in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and downstream cell types. This transcription factor is bound to thousands of regulatory regions in human ESCs, and binding at many sites is maintained as cells differentiate to mesendodermal and neural precursor cell (NPC) types, alongside the emergence of new binding regions. FOXK2 binding is generally associated with active histone marks in any given cell type. Furthermore newly acquired, or retained FOXK2 binding regions show elevated levels of activating histone marks following differentiation to NPCs. In keeping with this association with activating marks, we demonstrate a role for FOXK transcription factors in gene activation during NPC differentiation. FOXK2 occupancy in ESCs is therefore an early mark for delineating the regulatory regions, which become activated in later lineages.
