physiological function | histone acetyltransferase Mof plays an essential role in the maintenance of embryonic stem cell self-renewal and pluripotency. Embryonic stem cells with Mof deletion lose characteristic morphology, alkaline phosphatase staining, and differentiation potential. They also have aberrant expression of the core transcription factors Nanog, Oct4, and Sox2. The phenotypes of Mof null embryonic stem cells can be partially suppressed by Nanog overexpression, supporting the idea that Mof functions as an upstream regulator of Nanog in embryonic stem cells. Mof is an integral component of the embryonic stem cell core transcriptional network and Mof primes genes for diverse developmental programs. Mof is also required for Wdr5 recruitment and histone H3K4 methylation at key regulatory loci | Mus musculus |
