Post Translational Modifications | Sumoylation inhibits binding on DNA and negatively regulates the FGF4 transactivation. Methylation at Lys-44 and Lys-119 is necessary for the regulation of SOX2 proteasomal degradation. Ubiquitinated by WWP2, leading to proteasomal degradation. |
Function | Transcription factor that forms a trimeric complex with POU5F1 (OCT3/4) on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206. Binds to the proximal enhancer region of NANOG. Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency. Downstream SRRT target that mediates the promotion of neural stem cell self-renewal. Keeps neural cells undifferentiated by counteracting the activity of proneural proteins and suppresses neuronal differentiation. May function as a switch in neuronal development. |
