Abstract excerpt
The histone acetyltransferase Myst2 plays an important role in embryogenesis, but its function in undifferentiated ES cells remains poorly understood. Here, we show that Myst2 plays a role in pluripotency and self-renewal of ES cells. Myst2 deficiency results in loss of characteristic morphology, decreased alkaline phosphatase staining and reduced histone acetylation, as well as aberrant expression of...
