The gene for the embryonic stem cell coactivator UTF1 carries a regulatory element which selectively interacts with a complex composed of Oct-3/4 and Sox-2.

The gene for the embryonic stem cell coactivator UTF1 carries a regulatory element which selectively interacts with a complex composed of Oct-3/4 and Sox-2.

UTF1 is a transcriptional coactivator which has lately been remoted and discovered to be expressed primarily in pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells (A. Okuda, A. Fukushima, M. Nishimoto, et al., EMBO J. 17:2019-2032, 1998). To acquire perception into the regulatory community of gene expression in ES cells, we’ve got characterised the regulatory parts governing UTF1 … Read more
