Pluripotency reprogramming by competent and incompetent POU factors uncovers temporal dependency for Oct4 and Sox2
2 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Oct4, along with Sox2 and Klf4 (SK), can induce pluripotency but structurally similar factors like Oct6 cannot. To decode why Oct4 has this unique ability, we compare Oct4-binding, accessibility patterns and transcriptional waves with Oct6 and an Oct4 mutant defective in the dimerization with Sox2 (Oct4defSox2). We find that initial silencing of the somatic program proceeds indistinguishably with or...
