Abstract excerpt
SOX2 plays an important role in early embryogenesis by cooperating with OCT4 in regulating gene expression in fertilized eggs, yet the precise mechanism through which SOX2 accomplishes this important function remains poorly understood. Here, we describe the identification of two nuclear localization signals (NLS) in SOX2 and the generation of a dominant-negative mutant (Dmu-mSox2) by mutating these two NLS in its...
